Please Note: This fundraiser is now completed.
The students of The Collegiate have accepted the challenge to raise over $10,000 to build a deep water well in the community of Kalimani in Kenya.
With your help, the students of The Collegiate will forever change the lives of over 4,000 people!
About the Project:
The Problem:
The people of Kalimani suffer daily from a lack of access to clean water. Currently, community members...most often children...must travel up to 8km each way to collect water to drink. Often times, even this water is dirty and diseased. The problems caused by unclean water are numerous and devastating. By providing a reliable water source in this village the foundation will be laid for many other types of relief work.

Getting Involved:
The Collegiate team is launching "The Walk for Water." They are asking folks to sponsor a student's walk by making a donation through personal online Walk-A-Thon pages.
100% of your donating will be used to fund the construction of this water project. Neither The Water Project, Inc. or GiveMeaning.com uses any of these funds for administrative expenses. You can give knowing your gift will directly benefit the people of Kalimani!
You can help too! Please consider donating.
