The latest on our work and those supporting it
Last Monday, around 8pm I walked into a small coffee shop in Oklahoma City. Most nights “The Bean and Leaf” is a sleepy restaurant tucked between a liquor store and a closed down burger joint, but that night it was positively humming with activity. The place was packed from wall to wall for Classen High […]
Have you ever felt like you can’t possibly make a difference? Oftentimes we feel powerless to make any lasting impact in the world we live in, but 4th grader Rylie refused to believe that. She educated others and brought people together with the common goal of raising money to build a well. Rylie proves that together […]
We can’t help but smile when we see these amazing women from Delta Sigma Theta! Over 100 people participated at the Harford County Alumnae Chapter’s (DST-HCAC) annual Walk On Water 5K this past July, and the pictures tell the story. They know how to have fun while raising money for clean water! Delta Sigma Theta […]
What are you reading this summer? A great spy novel perhaps? A mystery that has you on the edge of your seat, reading long into the night when you should be sleeping? Here at The Water Project we have a reading list. We challenge each other with concepts from the books we read. Books on […]
In February of this year, Alex Antrobus and Murray Beaumont, two young South Africans, began cycling 10,000km through sub-Saharan Africa to experience what life in rural Africa – and the struggle for fresh water – are really like.

“Every day we make something, we learn something, and we try to love people.” That’s the goal, every day, for the Lowe family from Abilene, Texas. We met Matt, Amy and their two children, Liam and Mary when they called recently about starting a fundraising page so that Liam, pictured here with Dad, could love people by […]
Faith in Action Overflows to Four Communities Students at Southwest Chicago Christian School in Tinley Park, Illinois have been learning about the lack of clean water available to people throughout the world. As Principal Terry Huizenga wrote, “After hearing that one out of every six people in the world do not have access to clean […]
Strangest fundraiser ever? We may never know… but Kevin Cline and friends sure got our attention with this one. You simply have to watch! You may be wondering… Was this a waste of water? Maybe. But, here’s a stunner. A 10 hour shower only uses about 1,500 gallons of water. That’s less than […]
What do you think … is four-years-old too young to make a difference for someone living without reliable access to clean water? If you think so, then we’d have to say … think again! Silver, who lives in Utah, is making a difference – one ‘facebadge’ at a time. His Dad, Justin, tells us that […]
