Help Fund a Water Project

We're on a quest to change the world and we want your help.

Because who doesn't want to change the world? But sometimes changing the world sounds kind of Don Quixote crazy.

Noble intentions. Big dreams. Unwavering determination. But crazy. We kind of love Don Quixote though, and here's why. He actually sets out to do what he dreams of doing. He decides to quit daydreaming and pursue what he's passionate about, as different, impossible, or crazy as it might seem to the rest of the world. Sometimes the only thing that keeps us from actually changing the world is not knowing how to do it or where to begin. When we heard statistics like "783 million people do not have access to clean and safe water," and began to actually think about what life would look like if we were one of those 783 million, it messed with us.

And for years we got good at brushing off those thoughts that messed with us.

Until a few weeks ago.

While leading a small group of high school students on a social justice oriented retreat, the image of millions of people not having access to clean drinking water came back to Stacy. And a desire to be someone that does something about it grew to the point of not being able to ignore it.

And then there was this thought.

"The only thing stopping people from getting clean water is you not doing anything about it, Stace."

Woof.

Later that day the rest of the Cretors Crew was on board and "A Quest for Water" was born.

We have no idea how this is going to go, or how long it's going to take us, but what we do know is that there is a community of people somewhere in the world that is praying for God to give them clean water. We want to be the answer to their prayer and we're asking you to join us. We'll even give you a cool name, like Sancho Panza.

Your donation and help in inviting others into the quest will make it possible to build a well and give our brothers and sisters across the world the same opportunities for health and wholeness that we have.

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

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.
