Help Fund a Water Project
At any time, half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from water-borne diseases. The purpose behind us starting this project was to actually do something about inequality on earth and make a change Over one third of the world's population has no access to sanitation facilities. Also in developing countries, about 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions. 1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water related disease. In developing countries, it is common for water collectors, ussually women and girls, to have to walk several kilometers every day to fetch water. Once filled, pots and jerry cans weigh as much as 44lbs. Please I know it's a hard time to donate but just look how lucky you are to have the life you do. All they are asking for is water.
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.
