Upon visiting Africa in 2012, the directors of the preschool returned home with a clear understanding of the water struggles millions face. While visiting a village and small school we watched mothers bathing infants in dirty ponds, children walking miles to the community watering hole and the rationing of water within the school. It was heart wrenching and they both have been strong supporters of water projects ever since. 3.4 million people die each year due to the lack of clean water available to them, sadly most are children.
Since opening, the preschool has been proud supporters of many different charitable organizations and this year we are going to dedicate our efforts in raising $12,000 so we can sponsor our own project. Throughout the year we will share ideas on how to raise money for our project and teach the children the importance of water and how to conserve it. Once we raise the money we will be able to share actual field pictures so we can all see what a difference we have made!
It takes a village to raise a child but that child will not survive without clean water - let's bring the village the water shall we!
This is our water bucket challenge! Let's dump our water on Africa!

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.
