Yay! We reached our goal, but let's keep raising funds for clean water.

The average temperature in the Sahel region of West Africa is more than 110 degrees during the hottest months. Not having access to clean water means hours of painful and exhausting work. Many women walk miles each day just to reach the 100-year-old hole in the ground where they collect water. The homemade rope burns their hands; it causes bleeding and leaves callouses — even scars. And sometimes the rope breaks, causing women to fall into the wells.

But we can change all of that. We can bring solar powered pumps into communities and pipe water to tap stands right next to these women’s homes. 100% of everything we raise will directly fund water projects. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send us proof in pictures and GPS coordinates, so we can see the actual people and communities we impacted.
