Our band pays a musical tribute to Peter Gabriel, who has been a part of some wonderful causes to help mankind. I feel that we should also pay tribute to Peter Gabriel's legacy with more than just music. Water to those who have none seems so simple; but it's a basic need that we take for granted. As I sip my latte in the morning, or drink a glass of the purified water that comes out of my Fridgidaire, or drink from the bottle of Fuji or Evian or Aquafina, I think of how many people in this world don't have any access to pure water. and it breaks my heart...
It's about time that I personally put some money where my mouth is. I hope others will see this and see our band and get on board with this effort. 1 of 42. 42 people, donating $20 per month for 1 year, will raise approximately $10,000. Pretty simple, right? Are there 42 people out there that will do this? I'm counting on it! Let's do this simple thing that will save countless lives.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.
