Scan with Camera App to DonateThe Water Project builds new wells, rehabs neglected wells, constructs rain catchment tanks, protects springs and installs sand dams where appropriate.
By giving an African community access to clean water, you're also giving their youth the time to pursue an education. Education is critical for breaking the cycle of poverty and yet over half of the world's schools lack access to safe water and sanitation facilities.
Lack of clean water has serious effects on students' academic performance and attendance rates. The lack of safe water can cause even the best students to lose momentum as they deal with stomach pains and diarrhea from disease and hunger.
Students miss class to go fetch water, or to care for sick parents or siblings. In many places HIV/AIDS has already caused a large percentage of children to become orphans, requiring students to drop out and find work to provide food and care for younger siblings. If teachers are sick, classes get cancelled for all students.
Schools cannot run programs if they cannot provide water to students, faculty and their families.
I hope you'll consider joining me to fund a water project. With the help of your donation or even sharing this on your social media feed, we can provide clean, safe and reliable water to a community in Africa and help keep the youth in school.
