Help Fund a Water Project

Together, we can unlock potential in a developing community by providing clean, safe water.
Fundraiser
This year, Breakaway's Summer Voyage is partnering with The Water Project, a non-profit organization that is bringing relief to communities around the world who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water.
  • • Nearly 1 billion people don’t have safe water to drink.
  • • A child dies every 15 seconds from a lack of clean water.
  • • 1 in 4 children who die before age 5 worldwide, die of a water related disease.
  • • Children often walk miles every day to collect dirty water to drink.
  • • Most people without access to clean water live right above it.
  • • In many cases the only thing preventing access to clean water is money.
  • • The water projects can provide water for 1 person for over 10 years for only $10! (some for less than $1)
  • • We CAN make a huge impact in someone’s life!
    • We are asking all the kids at Breakaway's Summer Voyage to find a spare sock and fill it with spare change they find at home, all throughout the week! All the proceeds of these donations will go directly toward the building of a well in UGANDA to provide clean, fresh water.

    Why It Matters

    Access to clean, safe water unlocks potential

    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.
