the need
37% per cent of the developing world’s population – 2.5 billion people –
lack improved sanitation facilities, and over 780 million people still
use unsafe drinking water sources. Inadequate access to safe water and
sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and
sickens thousands of children every day, and leads to impoverishment and
diminished opportunities for thousands more… (Unicef)
children's water foundation
In partnership with Meaningful Life International, Children's Water Foundation brings potable, life giving water to villages in Ghana, West Africa. After witnessing a young girl drink mud from a waterhole back in early 2000 Sam made a pledge that he would do whatever it took to raise the money to place 1 well in 1 village. 20 wells and 20 villages later the foundation continues to bring clean drinking water to Ghana.
The Answer
By helping to dig a well you will help reduce 70% of the diseases caused
by unclean water. By helping to dig a well you will increase the
chances of girls being allowed to go to school because they no longer
have to walk miles to fetch the daily water needs of the family. By helping to dig a well you will give physical water that will, with
prayer lead to drinking from the Living Water. Total cost of one life changing well $9,956.
