Global Game Changer WRITTEN BY ERIC WILLIAMS C4H Co-Founder

etween 2008 and 2015, technologies have evolved into global game changers. First, the ability to produce fresh drinking water from the humidity in the air. Another is a tower of colbalt magnets manufactured into a turbine spinning through magnetic levitation powered by small battery; this produces up to a Gigawatt underground and on less than Bone acre of land. Add the breakthrough in 2013 when the cure for global hunger was invented, growing crops inside hermetically sealed domes anywhere in the world, including Polar regions; this requires water and power to achieve true sustainability. Finally next gen housing with homes with 100-Year Warranty under $7,500 USD that are fireproof and withstand winds up to 350 mph, allowing smart and green community be built anywhere without having to rely on 3rd party supply chains and importing.

This is a global game changer. Welcome to Cures4Humanity Magazine. An interactive publication chartered to give everyone a seat at the table: Food, Water, Electricity and Housing , what we call the Big 4.

No more excuses or debates “how to get there”. We are here, all of us, and in 2020 and beyond there will be a new era of humanitarian infrastructure projects ending global hunger, homelessness, lack of water and electricity.

Starting January 2021, Cures4Humanity Magazine will be published monthly online and can be printed locally for all major languages. So much to share and interact with in these issues ahead, please join us and together, the world will achieve sustainability at the local level. WATER & POWER ANYWHERE In 90-Days WRITTEN BY ERIC WILLIAMS Cures4Humanity Co-Founder

Over the last decade specific technologies have reached the canopy able to mass produce water and power inside small generators the size of large refrigerators and are scalable and decentralized.

Shown: Cure4Water Atmospheric Generators Not shown: Zero-Emissions Cure4Energy Magnetic Generators (classified) SECTION TITLE

More than 30 companies are now manufactureing atmospheric water generators (AWG) bypassing groundwater contaminants and treatment plants. These generators have been in operation since 2008 and continue to be more energy efficient. Add next gen filtration systems turning humidity into bottled water is a global game changer. These are the two main factors that enables the ability to deploy globally on a mass produced scale in non polar regions.

As of Q4 2020, Cures4Humanity Magazine has verified the majority of AWG

WATER manufactures are still evolving to achieve acceptable energy efficiency and advanced filtration systems. The overwhelming majority still require reverse osmosis unless used in agriculture. Cures4Humanity Inc. has partnered with an AWG manufacturer able to produce 2,000 gallons daily requiring only 12kW of power are world record achievements. 100 generators produces 72 million gallons annually or 54 million gallons in seasonal polar regions.

AWG pricing has been historically high yet in 2016-2017 prices were becoming more affordable. A few AWG manufacturers have lowered their pricing in 2020 to realistically compete against municipalities building water treatment plants.

In 2015, Cures4Humanity (C4H) partnered with a 250kW magnetic energy manufacture via Naval Skunkworks program. Press announcement was released in January 2018 the commercialized version exclusive was signed after two years of negotiations, due dilligence and multiple contract revisions having to be built in secured underground Bunkers. However in December 2018, a competitor was discovered with significant advantages in size, cost, lifespan and very impressive warranty. While C4H Magazine cannot comment on the details until Janaury 2022, the generators have celebrated their 5th year in operation in 72 countries and island nation’s. A Gigawatt (1,000 Megawatts) can be installed underground in

WATER&POWER STATIONS

When abundant fresh drinking water and clean electricity can be produced anywhere in the world 24/7/365, a fulcrum shift for humanity is about to occur.

When NGOs, humanitarian and philanthropic groups can build permanent housing communities for refugees, the impoverished and homeless worldwide, change for the better becomes eminent.

Real estate developers can finally purchase scrub brush without access to water and power for miles. Profits can increase significantly and appraisal values rise including becoming a water and power municipality for decades.

Water&Power Stations allows schools, hospitals and new endeavors be built anywhere, humanity benefits beyond measure. 6 OPERATION NOW If you had $2.1 Trillion and could end global lack of water and power, would you contribute 1% towards humanity..? We buy their products and services when there are several alternatives.

Operation Now is an endeavor asking the Fortune 500 to contribute just 1% of their $2.1 Trillion annual profits to provide water and electricity to 1.3 billion people around the globe.

Q: How much would 1% of their profits change the world each year until 2027..?

A: By installing 13,500 Water & Power Stations in 180 countries and island nations by 2027. Each produces 1MW to 5MW per region and 1 to 10 Million Gallons of fresh drinking water annually for 40 Years.

Cure4Water Generators harvests 400-gallons per day fresh drinking water with a 40-Year Warranty.

This water will be bottled daily into 3,500 Cure4Water 500ml Pacs to be delivered to the schools and senior citizen centers of Flint, Michigan totalling 1,277,500 Water Pacs annually, in 40-years more than 51 Million Water Pacs.

Cure4Water Flint Michigan Project costs only one-time fund of $47,230.

Cure4Water is committed to providing fresh drinking water to fight against the contaminated flint pipes in their reservoir using biodegradable water packs eliminating plastic bottle waste also.
