The Water Project

Dhillon/Johal Fundraising Page

Total Raised: $25.00


Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have clean water to drink?

I'm helping raise funds to provide clean, safe drinking water to people who suffer needlessly without it in the developing world, and could really use your help!

Our donations will be used to construct a specific water project. We'll get pictures, GPS coordinates, and reports from the field, as they happen. We'll see the actual results of what we've done.


In their own words...

We all feel incredibly fortunate living in a developed nation such as Canada, and like so many others, take something as simple as water for granted.  We are very thankful that we have the easiest access some of the cleanest water on the planet.  However, millions of individuals, who at no fault of their own, were born into a world of poverty, where some of the basic necessities of life are not accessible to them.  Clean drinking water is one of the most vital nutrients our body requires to live.  It does not seem just to allow for those people in developing nations to contract diseases and illnesses from unclean drinking water, and even eventually die.  We  all could just have easily been born into a similar life.  By providing easier access to clean water, we will be improving the lives of millions, and hopefully preventing the deaths of millions of people as well.

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.
