Help Fund a Water Project

Together, we can unlock potential in a developing community by providing clean, safe water.
Fundraiser

My husband Mike Wetzel was murdered in the San Bernardino terrorist attacks on December 2, 2015. In honor of his memory I would like to build a well in his name in an impoverished country. Please consider making a donation in his memory in lieu of flowers.
Thank you,
Renee Wetzel


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.
