Story

Clean water impacts much more than just hydration. In the village of Majok Goi children walk 3 hours to the Nile River, avoiding alligators, snakes, and hippos, just to collect water for their families. Not only is the trek dangerous, but this prevents them from going to school. In addition, the water from the Nile River is often contaminated, leading to giardia, amoebas, and parasites. Together we can empower the children in Majok Goi with the opportunity to spend their days gaining the education they want as they prepare to shape their nation's future. Each well costs $7,500 to build and serves 500 individuals so $15 gives one person access to clean water for a lifetime! $15 = Clean Water for 1 person for a lifetime $75 = Clean Water for 1 family for a lifetime $375 = Clean Water for 5 families for a lifetime $3,750 = Clean water for 250 people for a lifetime $7,500 = Clean Water for 500 people for a lifetime $15,000 = Clean Water for 1000 people for a lifetime
