Welcome to the Iowa City Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Water To Thrive committee’s fundraising page! We appreciate your donation, which will help us reach our goal of funding a well to bring clean, safe and sustainable water to a community in Africa.

I first learned about Water To Thrive several years ago,when I was approached by W2T to help create what would become their signature fundraising event, Chef’s Table Austin. During the process, I learned more about the water crisis and saw W2T’s dedication to help provide the basic, life-changing resource of safe water. When I heard about a very different fundraising opportunity in Tanzania this summer, I wanted to join W2T on their climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Water to Thrive has been building water projects in Tanzania for several years now, and I was struck by the idea of joining a group to visit these projects and then climb Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about the many rural Tanzanian communities still waiting for safe water, while raising funds to support their mission at the same time.

We have decided to challenge ourselves and participate in Water To Thrive’s amazing 2018 fundraiser by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania! We hope to help them raise awareness about the many rural Tanzanian communities still waiting for safe water, while raising funds to support W2T operations at the same time. 100% OF YOUR DONATIONS WILL BE A DIRECT DONATION FOR W2T’s MISSION.
