Help Fund a Water Project
One of the hardest things to see for me is kids and families who do not have clean water. We are so blessed to be living in the Midwest or America where we don't have to worry about such things as water when we can go to our kitchen and get a drink whenever we want.
Worldwide 1 out of every 5 childhood deaths are related to a water related disease. My goal is to raise enough money to fund a new well for a village by the end of 2012.
Please help save lives.
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.
