Help Fund a Water Project
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., has a rich history of fighting poverty, oppression, and working to
alleviate suffering all over the globe. With its approximately 200,000
college-educated women dedicated to public service, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, Harford County Alumnae Chapter is doing its part to make an impact on the international community. This
year’s international initiative ‘Walk on Water’ is a water project
contributing to the benefit of millions of men, women and children who
do not have access to the most essential element on God’s earth, water.
Nearly
1 billion people suffer needlessly without access to safe water. Nearly
80% of illness in developing countries is linked to poor water and
sanitation conditions. Help us change lives…walk with us.
This
year, donate to the millions who do are plagued with disease due to the
lack of clean, safe water. Join the Deltas of Harford County in doing
our part to change and save lives one donation at a time. A donation of
as little as $20 can change the course of one person’s life, every
little bit counts.
June 21st we
will hold our 3rd Annual Walk on Water 5K Run/Walk event at Tydings Park in Havre
de Grace, Md., to raise funds to deliver clean water to Africa. Know
that we are a community of educated women who are motivated by
compassion and a thirst for justice and will continue to do the work
that addresses the unfortunate daily existences that plague third-world
nations, primarily counted within the African Diaspora. We seek to
expand the dialogue and inspire changes in social, economic and health
conditions throughout the world.

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.
