Sean, Tiara, Sam and I are in a group in our biology class, we are focusing on different ecologies and how they can be affected. Specifically we are focusing on a village called Foro in Ethiopia. Women and children spend hours throughout the day collecting water from their only water source known as the Toiro River which is very much contaminated. We want to build wells and adequate sanitation services so the villagers can live longer lives, children can attend school more. By building wells we will help the villagers escape the water born diseases that live in the water they drink each and everyday.
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.
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.
