Help Fund a Water Project

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

At the end of this summer I’ll be turning 13 and having my Bar Mitzvah. Part of that includes doing a “Mitzvah Project,” which is doing a good deed and helping people who face tough
challenges. For my project, I would like to focus on the need for clean water
that exists throughout the entire world. We are so lucky to live where
we do. Now that I’ve learned how critical the availability of clean water is,
every time I take a refreshing drink of water on the sideline or a long, hot
shower after a win or loss, I will realize how lucky I am. Instead of playing
sports or going to school, 12 and 13-year-old children in many countries spend
half of their day walking to get a small supply of water for their family.

 I decided to start the Seth Lewis Lucky 13 Water Project.
The goal of the campaign is to raise the awareness of my fellow 12 and
13-year-old peers and my community as a whole about the need for clean water
AND to raise the funds necessary to sponsor the development of a freshwater
well in Africa. 

 I play many sports, including Lacrosse. This Spring I want to get
the kids and families who participate in the local Fort Hunt LAX league
involved in the Lucky 13 Project. I am going to make the seven U13 Boy’s LAX
teams, totaling 138 players, key partners of the campaign. For the 2013 season, the better they do, the
greater the amount of money raised for clean water! I am
pledging the following donation from my Bar Mitzvah money
:

· $5 for every game during which a team
scoops 25 or more ground balls;

·
$2 for each win;

·
$1 per goal scored; and

·
I will double those amounts for all
playoff games!

My contribution alone will NOT be enough for the completion of a
freshwater well. I need your help! Please make a donation, small or large! Let’s
get fired up and win one for clean water!
 

Thanks, Seth

Why It Matters

Access to clean, safe water unlocks potential

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.


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.

Together, with our partners we identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. Then we share the whole story with you to inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
