Establishing Community Water Well - Please help fundraise!
Help Fund a Water Project
In the United States, each morning some of us pour coffee, put on a radio/television, go to work/school, even a read a newspaper...enjoy a glass of water and a clean shower.
In Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Uganda, each morning there is a fight for the basic means of survival. Imagine not having clean water to brush your teeth, shower, drink, boil food? The goal of this fundraiser is to establish a community water well in Rwanda or another site in desperate need of a community well. Anything you can donate to contribute to this project will help benefit a community in need of the basic means for survival - water. 1 Billion people do not have clean, safe water. It is disturbing, outrageous, and something that needs to be fixed. Water should be readily available to all.
We know that when a well is installed for a village, girls return to school. Women begin small businesses. Men are no longer too sick to work. Fields are watered and food supply becomes more reliable. Health returns and children grow up to be productive members of their community. The cycle of poverty is broken. Lives change.
The Problem:
For too many...dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of sickness, lack of education, poverty and lost hope. It is needless suffering.
The Solution:
Decide this has to change. Get involved. Help us build clean, safe water projects in the developing world.
Thanks for your support and please share this with those who want to contribute to this community project.

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.
