Help Fund a Water Project
3.575 million people die each year from water-related disease.
That to me is appalling. There are children there...dying, and I can't just sit back here and watch it on the news and carry on my life as normal.
Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease. That is horrific. How many is that a day? An hour? They deserve a chance at life just as much as we do.
I think $4500 would raise enough to build a well, and together we can give those children a chance at life. Let's reduce that frightening statistic, and give those kids the life they deserve. I can't solve poverty on my own, and I'll not pretend I can...but if together we can save even 1 child's life...isn't that better than none?
Please please help me. It's not going to benefit me you doing this...but you might just save a child's life. Imagine that. Priceless. Let's raise money, together.
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.
