Help Fund a Water Project
I don't drink soda, coffee, or tea. I pretty much only drink water. I cannot imagine not having clean water to drink. When I think about so many people not having this basic need met on a daily basis it breaks my heart. Even if they have access to water, it may not be safe or it is miles away. When I found out how affordable it is to give a well to a village I felt the need to act. If 150 people donated only $50 it would be more than paid for! Its not that hard. My hope is to raise this money by New Years so 2012 can be a great year for the village who gets the well.
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.
