The Water Project

Raised So Far:
$45,301.00


Models 4 Water is an organization formed by Georgie Badiel and Heide Lindgren for the purpose of using their platform that the modeling industry provides to bring clean drinking water to Burkina Faso and eventually the world. Currently, Models 4 Water is raising money to benefit The Water Project. We aim to keep our focus where the need is greatest, and where the impact of a clean water source will be felt the most.


In their own words...

Models 4 Water began while brainstorming over a kitchen table about how to help the people of Burkina Faso, Georgie’s homeland.

Through our various relationships and with the help of our director Max Crespo, Models 4 Water was formed. The organization has now partnered with the wonderful people of Gilt Groupe, The Water Project, Modelina, and many others, to provide the people of Burkina Faso with the most basic human need and right: clean water.

About The Water Project


The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that's bringing relief to communities around the world who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water.

We tell stories. The story of water, the story of change, and the story of hope. These stories inspire people to raise the money needed to build wells and other water projects at schools, medical centers, churches and other public places in under-developed nations.

With monies raised, our partners in the field can do the digging and construction needed to provide clean, safe water efficiently and sustainably. They also mobilize, train, and follow-up with local communities, helping ensure long-term success.

We work closely with our partners around the world who identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. That's how we share the whole story with you and hopefully inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.

Why Give Water?

Nearly 1 billion people don't have access to clean, safe drinking water.


The Problem:

For too many...dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of sickness, lack of education, poverty and lost hope. It is needless suffering.


The Solution:

Decide this has to change. Get involved. Help me fund a clean, safe water project.


What to Do:

Donate and help fund a well with me. Once the goal is met we'll all receive a tracking link so we can actually see the specific project we helped fund. Together we'll witness the impact our donations make.

How We Work

Working with local partners in countries like Burkina Faso, The Water Project builds long lasting projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.

Clean, safe water changes everything!
