Help Fund a Water Project
100% Gurantee! You'll love it or we'll send you a complete refund! But wait! Call in the next thirty seconds...on and on it goes. In our society today, scams are a part of our daily routine. We've become pros at avoiding them. We install pop-up blockers on our computers, we put ourselves on the “do not call” list for telemarketers and we mute our TVs during commercials. We have become so jaded and deaf to the relentless cries of “Buy our product! Buy our product!” that sometimes our ears are also stopped to the cry of, “Help.”
When I first began researching The Water Project, I was more than a bit cynical. My whole life has been filled with these “But wait!” commercials and so I did not hold much hope for this project's validity. I was joyfully proven wrong.
Here are the stats:
More than 1 in 6 people in the world remain without access to safe drinking water.
Over one-third of the world's population has no access to sanitation facilities.
In developing countries, about 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions.
1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease.
The Water Project not only fights the ignorance of the problem through educational means, but also combats the problem on-site. They build quality, sustainable wells in villages, churches and schools all over Kenya, Sudan and Sierra Leone. They are DOING something about the need. Not merely discussing it. This foundation is not a scam, it's a solution. This project is not a hoax, it's hope to people who have nothing. No gift is too small. No contribution is overlooked. Nobody should die because the water that they are forced to drink is filthy and diseased. Please do not let this opportunity to change a life forever pass you by. The next time you take a sip of clean, precious water, remember The Water Project.
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.
About The Water Project
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.
