Help Fund a Water Project
I am doing a global issues project for my humanities class and I chose this as my topic. I didn't know how serious this issue was until I started reading articles and looking at pictures. Growing up I've always wanted to do something for someone other than myself. Not many people will take me seriously because of my age but I want to try. I sit down everyday with a glass of juice and sometimes I don't even finish it, pushing me to throw it out. I know realize how selfish that is. I may be young but I do believe that I can help save the world, this being my opportunity.
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.
Why It Matters
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.
