Water is omnipresent all over our world- in the oceans, lakes, rivers, and atmosphere. 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water; yet, there is still one billion people who lack the access to clean, sanitary water. Being an athlete and living in the blistering temperatures of Miami, water is extremely crucial to me. Comprising of only two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, this molecule largely impacts our society in every way imaginable- through drinking, cleaning, and transportation.
Something as simple and widespread as water should be acquired by all people. A young child in India should have equal access to a child in the United States. By providing wells to impoverished nations, I hope to prevent many deaths in our world and terminate all preventable illnesses. On the average, many children walk hours searching for a water source and therefore, put themselves in peril. The time spent in searching for water can be time directed in learning and reading. I want to help other people throughout the world, and grant them the same basic opportunities that I have been blessed with.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.
