I was inspired into this fundraising goal by an elementary school that I passed by one
day. On their information sign, I read that the school had raised $14,000 for a
well. I thought it was incredible and inspiring. It was in that same day that I decided that raising money for a
well would be my goal, and I was set on it. Ideas for fundraising were all I
could think about over the next days after seeing the sign.
After much research, I stumbled upon The Water Project and
loved everything about it. I was particularly attracted to the idea of 100% of
the donations going towards the well. The Water Project is supported through
people giving money to the Water Project (so please help them out if you can).
Through my research, I read many facts about the lack of water in third world
countries. I knew that this was something that I wanted to do and would make a
huge difference to so many people.
In conclusion, I ask you to please donate and help me get a
well built, changing the lives of so many people. We often get mail asking us
to donate but we can only afford smaller items due to the high costs of other items. Very few
individuals are able to give money for an item as large as a well but would
like to be able to do so. As a group of people, these seemingly impossible and
large items are possible. I hope to raise $14,000 towards a well. The company, North-End
Construction Ltd. will match $7000 dollars once it has been raised. This is a
rare opportunity, so please help me to make it happen.
Your donations will be tax deductible and updates on the
well will be available here once the well is started.
This
rather large fundraising goal of mine is a first for me! If you have
any fundraising ideas or would like to help in anyway, please let me
know. Any help will be appreciated!!
I would like to extend a special thank you to North-End Construction Ltd, who has so willingly, and without
thought, agreed to match our donations of $7000.
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.
