Overture: An Evening at Classen HS Wish Week


Wednesday, February 20th, 2013by Peter

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 […]

Monday, January 14th, 2013by julia

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 […]

My Heart Will Not Sit Down


Tuesday, August 21st, 2012by Tess Crick

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.  One of their goals is to help raise over $15,000 to support a water project!  Another was […]

Monday, October 31st, 2011by Tess Crick

Libby and her Mom Meg have something in common.  They love to bake.  In fact, they even have their own web site where folks in the Hamilton, Ohio area can order freshly baked muffins and cupcakes to be delivered to your door.

Monday, August 15th, 2011by Tess Crick

“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 […]

The 10 Hour Power Shower


Tuesday, May 31st, 2011by Peter

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 […]
