Water is too important to ignore. The human body is 70% water and without clean water, the body breaks down and dies. Contaminated water contains bacteria and parasites that harbor in the body, where diarrhea ends up making people more sick from dehydration. By helping with providing poor families with clean water you actually increasing the quality of life, prolonging their years and creating a healthier world. In turn, kids are able to return back to school, instead of working all day to bring water home. The kids become educated, and learn how to continue providing clean water and growing good crops. Meanwhile, family planning is more prevalent and in essence puts less stress on the enviornment to provide for a larger population.
The wonderful thing with The Water Project is they work with the communities to do help dig and build, then maintain the project and follow up with it's productivity. Unfortunatly this does not follow through with every organization.
Please read the website and do youre research and I hope you see what a great cause The Waterproject is.
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.
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.
