Kelly's Sahara Trek Fundraising Page
Help Fund a Water Project
In early 2012, I will join a group of 10 other adventurers to walk 250 miles across the Sahara desert. Water will be essential on our trip, and this will likely be the first time in my life that I will be faced with the challenge of having access to enough clean water to sustain me for an entire month.
While the trip in the Sahara will fulfill a dream of mine, I'm hopeful it will also fulfill the dreams of many people I'll never meet. I'm planning to use my adventure to raise money for building clean water wells in Africa through The Water Project, a group dedicated to providing clean drinking water to some of the millions of people in the developing world who don't currently have access to it. I'm hopeful that I can raise $25,000 through this trip.
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.
