The Bare Essentials...
Help Fund a Water Project
We wake up every morning to clean fresh running water. It is something that is very much taken for granted in Australia. We quite literally have it at our finger tips. At this current point there are millions of people who do not even have access to this basic need. So it's about time we do something about it! For the whole month of October i will be running an event, "no junk for a month", a fundraising event to raise money for the basic essentials of life by cutting out unnecessary junk. My Plan is to raise enough money to build a well over in Uganda that will provide clean fresh water for children and their families, to at least give them access to the bear essentials of life and help reduce the instance of illness and death as a result of unclean water.
I ask you all to get involved and rally together to show our support for those who do not even have what we take for granted.Who's Helping?

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.
