Help Fund a Water Project
After going to Pilgrimage, I really wanted to do something to try and help make somebody's life better. Through Google, I discovered this page and was inspired to raise money for this found with the help of my church family. Please help these people who can't help themselves on their own.
Here's How It Works
Take the money you would have spent on soda, juice, sports drinks, bottled water etc., and put it aside to give clean water. Collect your savings in a cup wrapped with a "The Water Challenge" label.
It'll help you remember to choose water and to spread the word.
If you are heading toward the soda machine, head for the water fountain instead. If your family goes out to dinner and you usually order iced tea, ask for water. It's free. You'll be amazed at how the savings add up. Encourage your whole family to participate.
After 2 weeks, calculate the amount of money saved by your sacrifice and give water through The Water Project, Inc. It will be used to drill new water wells in Kenya, Sierra Leone, Sudan or India...you choose!
$10 - One Person's Clean Water
$50 - Give a Family Clean Water
$250 - Water for a Classroom
$1,000 - Purchase a Well Pump
$6,500 - Fund an Entire Project
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.
