Help Fund a Water Project
Water is such a basic need, but many people go without enough of it. Many people in Sudan suffer and die from thirst, walking long distances to get water, and diseases from unclean water. They also miss a lot of school because walking to get water is more important and can take the whole day. This is Project: Water, and our mission is to pay for an entire water program in Sudan. This includes a clean water well and water education for up to 500 people. It provides a future for them and breaks the cycle of unclean water and poverty. After completing the project, updates and progress reports on that specific well will be available. Contact Claire Sheen if you want updates on how the community and the well are doing. http://thewaterproject.org/thewaterchallenge.asp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se12y9hSOM0&feature=player_embedded
Why It Matters
Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.
About The Water Project
The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing clean, safe water to communities around the world who suffer needlessly without.
Working with local partners in countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Uganda, we build long lasting water projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.
Together, with our partners we identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. Then we share the whole story with you to inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
