Help Fund a Water Project
Why we want to help -
Did you know that 1 out of 6 people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water? One day Shane came home from working at a water treatment plant and we were discussing how truly blessed we are to live in America. Most of us are oblivious of the daily struggles that others face while trying to attain clean water in third world countries. We daily wash our hands, take showers, water our lawns, wash our cars, and drink all the water we desire yet millions go thirsty because they lack the resources needed for basic human survival.Shane and I thought: "What if we could change that?"
By partnering with the Water Project, we are committed to joining the fight to provide clean, safe, drinking water to all of God's children. 100% of the money you donate will go towards the building of a well located near a local church in a community that is in desperate need of clean water. By simply donating $10 you can provide clean drinking water to 1 person for 10 years. Its amazing to think something as small as $10 can do so much for someone else!
Matthew 25:35 - "I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink."

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.
