Help Fund a Water Project

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

Recently, I read an article called "How to be Fearless". It was comprised of 12 fearless people and how they failed and tried again until they succeeded. One of these people touched my heart as they were advocating to raise funds for the water crisis. The water crisis is not something we associate with here in the U.S. as we do have access to water. However, we tend to donate money to Red Cross, blood at blood drives, and funds to libraries/schools/organizations to help our own communities grow. What we don't see are the communities of men and women and children without water traveling 4 or 5 hours a day to acquire a bucket of water for their own. Diarrheal diseases (such as cholera) kill more children than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined, making it the second leading cause of death among children under five.-http://www.cdc.gov/safewater/disease.html Since joining a work community 6 months ago, I have felt very gratuitous to have a job, my health, and to be able to get up on my feet and further my education while working. As a part of my good fortune, I feel like giving to a community, something we have access to all the time. Just being able to help a community gain access to water can last someone's lifetime. And if I fail, then that's ok, I will be fearless and keep trying to help.

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.
