The Running Water Campaign
Help Fund a Water Project
During the summer of 2013, at a CIY conference I watched a movie called "Zambia's Song," and my eyes were opened to the devastating reality that villages all over Africa are forced to drink filthy, polluted water. As I sat in the air conditioned auditorium, drinking my third bottle of water, I decided that I would do something.
Throughout my next four years of college, I'll be hosting a series of 5k races, movie nights, and will be selling bracelets in order to raise money and awareness for the African people. The money that we raise will allow for a water well to be constructed. Clean water brings community, happiness, and health. Raising $10,000 may seem daunting, but I know that we will do great things!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.
