This is Caroline. Beautiful smile, right? She’s smiling because she’s drinking clean water for the first time. She used to walk three hours every day to fetch dirty water. But not anymore. Her village just got a well. Clean water will change everything for Caroline and her community. For every Caroline, there are millions more children hoping to smile like that. Almost a billion people on the planet don’t have clean water right now. Who knows how many people you will impact. This is where it begins.

The world is a mess.
People are sick. Starving. Poor. Destitute. Every day I read or hear about it in the news. There are so many people that need help. There are so many needs, so many good causes.
I’ve had it pretty good in life. I don’t want to sit by and just do nothing, so I picked one cause I think everyone can agree on. I’m working to give people something they absolutely cannot do without - the most basic of health needs.
I’m working to give people clean drinking water.
More than a billion people don’t have access to safe drinking water. I don’t mean that their pipes don’t work; I mean that they have to walk hours each day to collect dirty water from stagnant ponds and muddy rivers. And the crazy thing is that for so many people, like for us here, clean water runs in lakes under their homes and village. But they don’t have the drilling equipment or the money to reach it.
Just $5,000 builds a well to serve a community of 250 people. My goal is to raise $10,000 towards two wells in the next three months.
There’s a lot of need in the world. I’m starting here. Will you join me?
Join with us, tumblrs..let’s fund two wells..enough water for 500 people…forever.
