Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have clean water to drink?

I'm helping raise funds to provide clean, safe drinking water to people who suffer needlessly without it in the developing world, and could really use your help!

Our donations will be used to construct a specific water project. We'll get pictures, GPS coordinates, and reports from the field, as they happen. We'll see the actual results of what we've done.


In their own words...

My name is Joselyn Arroyo. I am fourteen years old.

My geography class has been learning about how the struggle for water in the world. A section of a movie we saw showed how horrible the water was in Africa. The movie also included the story of a boy just 7 years old, who raised enough money to build a well in Africa. It really inspired me. Something that for me is so easy to get, some people have to walk miles to dirty water. This is their survival. I have to walk maximum just twenty steps to get to water. So, I'm taking action. 

Many people ask me," Why?"
My answer: "Why not?" 

I looked up how to build a well in Africa and I got here. Great place. 
My goal? To raise $2,000 to build a well in Africa. I want to save lives and give people what I have, clean water.
 
I realize I am very fortunate, for not everyone has something so easy for me to get, water. Join me in the movement for clean water for everyone. Don't we all deserve that?
To know that I'm saving lives creates a great feeling inside.

About The Water Project


The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that's bringing relief to communities around the world who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water.

We tell stories. The story of water, the story of change, and the story of hope. These stories inspire people to raise the money needed to build wells and other water projects at schools, medical centers, churches and other public places in under-developed nations.

With monies raised, our partners in the field can do the digging and construction needed to provide clean, safe water efficiently and sustainably. They also mobilize, train, and follow-up with local communities, helping ensure long-term success.

We work closely with our partners around the world who identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. That's how we share the whole story with you and hopefully inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.

fund. Together we'll witness the impact our donations make.
