Help Fund a Water Project
I want to get the message of how much people need water in africa. And did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water. Plus some people walk for over 3 hours a day to get to water that is full of diseases, that can lead to diseases like diarrhea, dehydration even death but what choice do they have.
And sometimes the even get attacked while they are walking. And they are compounded down by 40 pounds of water.
Every 19 seconds a mother losses her baby to a water related illness.
And if they didn't go collecting water they would save over 40 billion hours a year that they could spend doing other things like getting an education.

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.
