Help Fund a Water Project
Everyday we are afforded the basic necessities we all take for granted like water. Water, is something we the people that live here in the United States think is something we just should have. If our electricity goes out and we didn't have hot, running water for our showers we freak! And that only last minutes...IMAGINE a lifetime of struggling a lifetime in constant pursuit of fresh water to just shower or in most Rwandan's cases bucket baths. My goal is to raise 6,500 dollars to enurse one functioning water well in a village in Rwanda, Africa. And at the point of success I'll be starting a new fundraiser to ensure another, and another working, functioing water well to another village in need of fresh, flowing water for their children, mothers and fathers! We live in a country that has way to many LUXURIES and we never think to give back to help those that actually need these simple luxuries, necessities. I ask of you my friends, and my family please donate what you can and make a difference with me in someone life. Let's help make not just one, but hundreds of peoples lives better. Let's be the change we wish to see in the world- Ghandi
Thank you so much for reading this and for your donation I promise you your dollar won't go unnoticed or unappreciated! So again, I ask please join me in making a difference in this world.

Why It Matters
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.
