Carla Peters' Fundraising Page
Help Fund a Water Project
Why am I
fundraising? I am fundraising because ‘a child dies every fifteen seconds from
a lack of clean water.’
Imagine
having to wake up at the crack of dawn, every morning, to walk ten km to
fetch a bucket of brown water. Imagine not being able to go to school because
you have to fetch polluted water ten km away all day. Imagine losing your
child because you couldn’t provide clean water. Imagine knowing that the brutal
conflict going on in your country won’t kill as many people as the
water they drink.
Nearly a
billion people don’t have access to clean water.
I am
Australian; and I know I live in a very privileged country. By donating money
you were going to spend on that luxury item, you could literally save a
life. It's my sixteenth birthday this year and all I want is clean water.
Something I get for free every day.

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.
About The Water Project
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.
