Help Fund a Water Project
I am trying to raise money to try and do my part in fixing the world's water issue. There is a child dying every 15 seconds because of the water problem, and I want to help reduce that number as much as I can. Remember, a little goes a long way. 10 dollars gives a person water for their entire life. 1 dollar assures clean water for a person for an entire year.
Please donate to this life-changing cause And/Or... Take the challenge. - Only drink water (or milk if you are still in school) for 2 weeks. -Write down how much you save by not buying pop, and after the two weeks, donate all the money that you saved by not drinking pop to the water project. -You will receive a tracking link to tell you how much the project has progressed from your donation.Who's Helping?

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.
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.
