Kellie Gerber's Clean Water for Africa Page
Help Fund a Water Project
While it's fun & does help raise funds for ALS, after watching video after video of people throwing water on their heads, I ran across a thought provoking picture showing a bunch of Americans throwing water on their heads then below a picture of an African child sipping water from a lid. It put it in clear prospective. How 'bout donating $10 to ALS, but not wasting the water and instead donating $10 to www.waterproject.org which helps create clean drinking water in places such as Africa. Why can't we start a viral video on FB of holding an empty bucket, stating we are sending $10 to ALS and also $10 to the water project (or if you've already done the ALS challenge, just $10 to this fundraising goal?!

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.
