Come on people, this isn’t the time to lie about your age….

 
Instead, we’re asking you to reflect on how old you are, and therefore how many years you’ve lived with access to clean water. How many years have you been able to easily reach for a glass of water when you’re thirsty, hop in the shower when you’re sweaty, run a load of laundry when you’re out of socks, or even wash the dishes when your sink is full (Who would’ve thought we would be thankful to wash the dishes!)?
 
Now imagine someone your same age in rural Africa; the same years you’ve lived with clean water, they have lived without it. When they are thirsty, they have to walk miles to find the nearest (and still contaminated) water. When they are sweaty, they can only rinse off in disease infested river water. Imagine the way they have to put their clothes under this dirty, dangerous water in order to “clean” them.
 
This is why helping to sponsor a well is so important- one water well provides clean water for hundreds of people for many years.
 
So how will we respond to the many years we have been blessed with clean water? We have an idea… If we all give just ONE DOLLAR for each year we’ve lived with clean, safe water (most likely your age), we can provide clean water for many people in rural Africa.
 
This is a new fundraising strategy that we want you to participate in with us! Take a look at the poster below and see how many people you could provide water for if you donate just one dollar for each entire year of clean water you’ve enjoyed. Figure out how many people you could serve if you donated your age doubled in dollars!
 
It’s time to make a difference! Together we can make an impact on the water-crisis.
