To begin with, In our earth you may not be aware that 2.2 million people die every year because of lack of access to clean water. One child dies every 21 seconds, that's about 4,100 children a day because of diseases they caught just for drinking or showering in that filthy water. Women and children walk 3.75 miles for up to 7 hours a day just to drink contaminated water that can possibly get them sick and die, and we complain because we have to run 1 mile. These people are suffering and its not even their fault. However, we can make a difference and change that just by fundraising money so they can build a pump with clean water so no one else will die anymore due to the water problem.
We can make a miracle happen, the Thirst project is what handles that all, they are an organization who's goal is to bring safe water to communities around the world. the thirst project begun in America. The problem is that 80% of all global diseases are water-borne from drinking contaminated water .They are trying to solve that problem and get that 80% to clean drinking water. the cost to build a pump that produces fresh water is $7,800 in Uganda to $20,000 in Kenya. some countries that are being helped by this organization is Uganda, Kenya. Anyone can help by donating money! For as little as $20 can provide one person with safe water for twenty or more years! I fundraised about $11, I did many thing to fundraise that money. Some members of my family even donated $10 more dollars in total. To fundraise that money I volunteered to do chores around my house. First, I cleaned and organized 10 kitchen drawers to win $5. then I backed 12 cupcakes and sold them for 50 cents each to members of my family and neighbors and earned $6, it wasn't hard at all! Anyone can Help its easy they just have to donate $20 a month. I feel very happy that I contribute to saving many peoples lives and my hard work was worth it! |
