Help Fund a Water Project
Imagine not having water for a whole day, now imagine two days, and then three. You are extremely dehydrated, you get light headed when you stand, your skin is dry, and you don't feel like moving. Finally, one day you get only a sip of water. You fill with joy, and savor it because you don't know when or if you will drink again. Although you may think there is no way this can happen to me it is estimated that in the year 2030 there will be a national water crisis, no matter where you live everyone will be effected. Sad to say, this crisis has already began for many others, mainly in India an Africa. Nearly one billion people do not have access to clean water, resulting in sickness and even death.
You have the power to change things, you can help with a generous donation to help fund a well. A well to provide a community with fresh, clean, healthy water for the next twenty years. Raising an amount of $6,500 will go to preparing the community for the building of the well, the actual construction, and most importantly the test administered to assure that the water is healthy. Although 2030 seems far away, it is right around the corner. Some may say well I wont be here in 2030, but I ask you to think about the people that will. Leave your footprint on the world by helping others. In the long run, you can be the reason why a human is still on this earth, and that is something that not everyone has the honor of saying.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.
