About the Campaign
Recently having graduated from the University of Minnesota, Erik is pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a sports reporter. Our Water to Thrive campaign can help other people pursue their dreams by building a clean water well for people who currently walk great distances for water and who must deal with waterborne illnesses. Just as Erik can now pursue his dream, with clean water closer to their homes, girls will go to school, women will own businesses and provide income for their families, communities will stay healthy.
Erik’s mentor, Carol Kaemmerer, is a longtime advocate for Water to Thrive. In thanks for the friendship, wisdom, and knowledge that her mentorship brings, we honor her in the building of this well.
