The 1000 Wells Project
"[The 1000 Wells Project] saves lives by helping people drill clean wells in Africa."
-25,000 people lose their lives to water-related illnesses every single day.
-Women and children walk 2 hours each way to fetch water (hauling dirty water back to their families.) They have no time or energy left for education or small business, and many die.
-Preventable water related diseases kill 4 children every minute.. Imagine if that many precious ones were dying in the U.S.!
How To Help:
-Start by watching the video.
-Take a moment to read "why participate?" and learn more about the water crisis.
-Make water your only beverage for just 2 weeks.
-For those 2 weeks, take the money you would usually spend on soda, juice, sports drinks, coffee, milk, etc., and collect it in a your favorite mug or cup.
-Get your friends and family in on the act. Better still, arrange to bring The 1000 Wells Project to a church, school or civic organization in your area. See the Checklist for Group Participation.
-When the 2 weeks is over, contribute the funds to Blood:Water Mission by sending your check to the address below. Also include a feedback form with your contribution:
-Write a check payable: Blood:Water MissionPO Box 60381, Nashville, TN 37206
