Help Fund a Water Project
Water, it is the funds for all life
and heartbreakingly there are a billion people across the world that do not
posses clean water. Those who have water at all have to work all day just to
obtain it leaving little to no time for anything else.
But why water? Why
not the scarcity of food around the world? The lack of education? The amount of
diseases running ramped? Water creates a rippling affect for every one of these
categories. Water is needed to plant crops and grow food. Water that is close
and clean allows girls to stay in school through their teenage years and become
educated. Dirty water is linked to 80% of illness in developing countries. The
simple substance of water fixes critical issues that are everyday struggles for
many people. And yet we don’t think twice about it, but this is not to guilt
trip you but rather encourage you to help.
In the perfect
world I would be able to put together a trip and go somewhere to help, but for
the moment this is all I can do and I would love your support. For the longest
time the world has been thinking in the form of countries, races, religion, and
segmenting ourselves apart from each other. It is time to change how we think.
It is time to think globally and not individually. It is time refuse to watch
the injustices of the world continue on and this is my start. I hope you will
join me in my passion to help those who are unable to help themselves. If you
cannot donate please continue to spread the word, for both of these simple acts
will change someone’s life. Thank you so much for you support.
Sincerely,
Ian Wehner
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.
