water

water
something we don't think about. when we need it we  use it we simply just turn a knob, but for so many people it is deadly. diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.  Children are especially vulnerable, as their bodies aren't strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery and other illnesses.


  this year some special mama's are joining me to raise money for clean water. 
would you consider helping us? 100% of your donation goes to a water project and is tax deductible.

$5, $10 or anything you can give WILL help.

you can visit our link HERE


last year, along with your help, our campaign helped fund an rig that i can follow everyday via GPS as it drills wells through out Ethiopia.
 today is day 275 in the field
and the rig is  in Aksum, Tigray, Ethiopia
