The Water Project

Liam's Wells - Liam's Friends

Raised So Far:
$47,720.47


Welcome to Liam Lowe's Water Project.

In 2011, while being treated for leukemia, Liam learned that nearly a billion people don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. He learned that dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of sickness, poverty and hopelessness.

So Liam decided to help, working with his family and friends to raise money to dig wells for people in the developing world. These donations are being used to construct specific water projects, and as the projects progress, we get pictures, GPS coordinates and reports from the field.

To help build more wells, click the Donate Now button, or keep reading for more of Liam's story.


In their own words...

Well, Liam's at it again.

For those of you who haven't met him: Liam is 6. He has a mischievous smile, a cute little sister and an impressive sense of balance.

In November 2010 he was diagnosed with a kind of leukemia called T-cell ALL. Since then, he has received lots of chemo and radiation, a stem cell transplant, an NK-cell treatment, and is now recovering from his second stem cell transplant. Transplant is hard, and second transplant is harder, but Liam is always Liam: stoic, brave and polite when he's feeling bad; silly, sweet and clever when he's feeling even a little bit better.

For a few months, Liam was in remission, but he relapsed in July 2011. After his relapse, in an attempt to make each day as meaningful as it could be, we decided that every day in the hospital should include three important things: learning something, making something and loving someone. After one conversation about how to love people, we ended up at the Water Project's website, and Liam started raising money to dig wells for people who have no clean water. In just a few weeks, more than 200 people had contributed over $16,000, and in October two wells were completed, both in Kenya.

But people are still excited about Liam's wells and want to know how they can help. Grownups have offered to publicize his project in a variety of ways. And Liam's sweet friends have been finding all sorts of creative ways to love him, making dozens of drawings and paintings and selling them to raise money, even though the original wells are already complete. Liam's little bit of love has developed a life of its own.

So we figured we needed to do something. While we could take these donations and transfer them to The Water Project, we think it's a lot more fun and communal for people to get to come to this one place, make their donations, and watch as the money is raised and the wells are built. A few days ago, I asked Liam if he wanted to start another well. His answer was an emphatic yes.

Update: Liam relapsed again in mid-December. We brought him home to Abilene, where we played with him and loved on him until he died on January 17. His memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 28, at Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, TX; everyone is invited to come and remember him with us.

This page will be left open indefinitely, and new wells will be built as projects become available. While our sweet boy may be gone, there are still millions of people whose lives could be saved with clean water.

Money donated over $42,000 on this page will go toward an 8th well. The cost of each well varies depending on the project.

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.

Why Give Water?

Nearly 1 billion people don't have access to clean, safe drinking water.


The Problem:

For too many...dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of sickness, lack of education, poverty and lost hope. It is needless suffering.


The Solution:

Decide this has to change. Get involved. Help me fund a clean, safe water project.


What to Do:

Donate and help fund a well with me. Once the goal is met we'll all receive a tracking link so we can actually see the specific project we helped
fund. Together we'll witness the impact our donations make.

How We Work

Working with local partners in countries like Kenya, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Rwanda, The Water Project builds long lasting projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.

 

Clean, safe water changes everything!
