goal
If you're like us, 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's just there for the taking.
But for a billion 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 parasites and leeches. In fact, 80% of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water and lack of sanitation.
When we learned that only $20 can give someone clean, safe water for two decades, we decided to start a campaign to help. Now, our goal is to raise $10,000 to build 2 wells in developing nations. And the cool thing about charity: water is that they spend 100% of the money we raise directly on the water projects. Even better, when projects are complete, every dollar is tied to a village and all the wells are posted on Google Earth.
We've never actually been dying of thirst. And if you're like us, you'd like to see a world where no one does. Together, we can make a dent in the global water crisis. We hope you'll consider helping.
The good news is, we've not only passed our original goal of $10,000, but we've also passed our updated goal of $20,000! So, don't stop yet, we've still got more time. Who knows, maybe we can raise enough funds to put in five fresh-water wells? Get involved - raise awareness - make sacrifices - let's make a difference together!
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward. Matt 10:42
