goal
Hi everyone,
If you're like me, you don't spend too much time thinking about water -- it's everywhere we go. When we're thirsty, we flip a handle or push a button. When we're dirty, we twist a shower knob. When our garden needs watering, when our pasta needs to be boiled, when we use the bathroom -- water is just there for the taking.
But for almost 800 million people on the planet, it's not. Millions of women and children have to walk hours each day to get water from muddy ponds and rivers. And much of that water is infested with bacteria, parasites or leeches.
When I learned that an average of $20 can give someone access to clean, safe water, I decided to start a campaign to help.
My goal is to raise $15,000. That gives our Wholehearted community the opportunity to fully fund a tap for 230 people in Rwanda.
Why charity:water?
I believe in what they're doing and how they're doing it.
charity: water will use 100% of the money to directly fund the water projects in the field. Even better, when the projects are complete, they'll show me just where our money went.
That's right -- we'll be able to see the GPS coordinates, photos and other details about the community we've impacted!
Let's DARE GREATLY and make this happen!
Together, we can make a difference in the global water crisis. I hope you'll consider helping.
