Help Fund a Water Project
In honor of the 70th birthday of Mary Alice Shemo!
One of my mother’s great gifts is that even though
she has little financial wealth by U.S. standards, since she tends to view
herself in a global context, she considers herself very fortunate, especially
in possessing access to resources such as an abundance of clean water. She is concerned that so many people in the
world do not have such access. Lack of
clean water is one of the leading causes of infant mortality world wide, and my
mother is very concerned about health globally. If you would like to give a gift for her 70th birthday, please donate here.
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.
