Cupcake Project has launched a charity project this month to benefit FilterPure, and it involves two of my favorite things: chocolate and peanut butter. Three, if you count hi-hat cupcakes. The deal is, if you donate $1 or more, which you can do using this widget below, you get the recipe! There's a lot more information over at Cupcake Project.
From the FilturePure site:
Filter Pure, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c) 3, corporation, brings desperately needed clean and safe drinking water to the people of developing nations.
Our strategy is to implement local and sustainable enterprises that manufacture and distribute effective and accessible point of use ceramic water filters for use in the home.
Expected health outcomes include a significant reduction in occurrence of disease and death from water-borne contaminants, and improved health, especially for children under the age of 5 and people with weakened immune systems.
These chocolate peanut butter cupcakes loaded with dark chocolate chips, topped with peanut butter frosting, then dipped in more chocolate are a sight to behold.
About FilturePure and this project:
With the $4000 we could do so much. We are focused on our factory in Haiti right now, which is just starting up, and we would love to purchase filters from them, all proceeds stay in Haiti and go to the Haitian factory with Haitian staff. The filters would then be distributed to displaced people from the earthquake. The situation right now continues to be critical as diseases like Typhoid have become epidemic in Haiti. People continue to live in tents in situations with no access to potable water and substandard hygienic systems in place. The filters that the Cupcake Project would donate would go to provide 133 families with water filters for their homes, thereby meeting the water needs of more than 800 people for 5 years. Now that is what I call frosting on the cake.
