Walk for Water-Boise
Help Fund a Water Project
Water is something that so many take for granted. It's something that we are fortunate enough to not worry about. But half of the world's population struggles to find clean drinking water every day. As much as 1 out of every 6 people have little to no access to safe drinking water. 2.2 billion people, with the majority of them being children, die from poor sanitation and water borne illnesses every year. In the past 10 years, diarrhea has killed more children than the total number of people who died in conflict since WWII. Tens of millions of children are forced to drop out of school because fetching water becomes crucial. 80% of illnesses in developing countries are from unsanitary water sources.
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.
