Wishing for Wells
Help Fund a Water Project
While we were completing a unit about the problems facing third world countries, several seventh graders became inspired to make a difference. We sold "cookies for clean water" at the local craft fair, and organized a holiday gift wrapping event at our middle school. We liked the idea of a wishing well, so we decided to call our group "Wishing for Wells" because it is our wish to transform the lives of the people living in a village in Sierra Leone by restoring or repairing their well.
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.
Why It Matters
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.
