Our goal is to be able to provide something essential, like fresh water, to those who don't have it!. We take for granted that we can have fresh water whenever we want it!
Trust in the Lord to provide for everything we need, not want. We save and store up for emergencies...life insurance, savings accounts, 401Ks, food in bulk. Shouldn't we take care of our brothers and sisters in the world who live daily in a state of emergency?
Consider what Proverbs 30:7-9 (NIV) says....
7 “Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
Think about what these verses are saying: "Give me just enough, Lord, so I don't forget you or take you for granted." This is a difficult prayer to say! We all want a backup plan, security. Challenge yourself to save less for yourselves in order to give more to those who need NOW! I dare you to live on only what you need and share your wealth with others who have very, very little.
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.
The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing clean, safe water to communities around the world who suffer needlessly without.
Working with local partners in countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Uganda, we build long lasting water projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.
Together, with our partners we identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. Then we share the whole story with you to inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
