'Fill a Bucket' Water Challenge
Help Fund a Water Project
I love the viral impact of the ALS ice bucket challenge, as it has brought awareness and much needed funding for finding a cure for ALS. As an alternative to dumping a bucket of water, I am proposing that together we try to FILL a bucket of water. When water wells are brought to a village, kids can spend time in classrooms instead of walking to a well. Together we can make a huge difference- providing clean water for those in need.
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.
Why It Matters
About The Water Project
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.
