I am raising this money to help people in Uganda gain access to safe, clean drinking water. This is basic, we all enjoy limitless supplies of wonderful, clean water, yet many places exist on the planet without this luxury. How many taps do you have in your house? Including outdoor spigots, we have eight. That's eight more than these villages with thousands of residents, babies, livestock, etc. Let's come together and make a difference. Join me by donating to this worthy cause. As an added bonus, every dollar you donate up to $7,500.00 will be matched 100%. That means that we can turn $7,500.00 into $15,000.00 and help thousands of people gain access to clean drinking water for the foreseeable future. Browse The Water Project website, look at the pictures of these people, view the YouTube videos, and see if your heart is softened. Mine was, and I'll thank you in advance for doing what you can. Heck, even the cost of your next lunch at a restaurant would give safe, clean water to 1 person for approximately 10 years. Amazing. I've worked with this group for years, I can vouch for them, this is not a fly-by-night organization. These people are committed, on a mission, overworked, underpaid, but joyously doing the Good work that I know each of you yearns in your heart to advance. Thank you.

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.
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.
