We want to make a difference!

We recognize the water crisis impacts so many people. We want to help others have clean water. We see that so many have so little and this makes us want to help them. People in Africa are suffering due to this and we knew we couldn't just sit in school and watch them suffer. We knew we had to help.

We hope to make a difference for people in Africa and we will not give up until we have succeeded. It makes us so sad to watch these people suffer. It hurts us how we have all this clean water and how they have none and the water they do have is filled with disease which causes diarrhea and death. We really hope we can help and you can help us make a difference.

Thank You,

Students of Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Glen Ellyn, IL USA

The Act of Kindness Student Leadership Team: Lily, Ella, Noah, Sophia, Tess, Charles, Angela, Mia, Sophia, Ezra, Caitlin, Mathew, Lo, Kamyra, Joure'n, Leah, Andrew, and Mrs. Schweikhofer

How this works

Dirty water impacts health, education, women, and income. Providing a reliable and safe water source allows communities to thrive.

The Water Project provides access to safe and reliable water across sub-Saharan Africa. Together, our support can end the water crisis and restore hope, one community at a time.

The coolest part? We'll all get to see our impact! Every gift is directly linked to a specific water project and community. We'll receive updates including photos and stories, maps and more!

Lives change when communities gain access to clean water. Let's experience it together. Make a donation to my fundraising campaign today!
