Team Liam & Alex - HealthyH2O4All
We are young & passionate & were moved, almost to tears, after watching a documentary about the plight of school children in a lot of schools in Africa. We want to help them. Most of them do not have, what to us are the basic necessities of life. We had a very hard time coming to grips with the fact that even such a basic thing as clean drinking water was unavailable to the children! Fortunately, we were introduced to H2O for Life through our school. This is a fundraising project done each year at our school to help these children get safe drinking water. We cannot imagine
We have chosen this school to support because the children there have to bring water from home. The majority of water collected is not potable & it is collected from runoff from the roads. The children suffer from water borne diseases with consequent dehydration & malnutrition. We can alleviate their suffering by helping raise $6000 to construct a tank that will collect clean drinking water. A 75,000-liter rainwater catchment tank will begin catching rainfall that will be used by the school’s students and staff for drinking, handwashing, cooking, cleaning, and much more.
Here in the United States we can walk into any supermarket & have our choice of bottled drinking water. Furthermore, the tap water is safe to drink anywhere in the US.
We know we cannot help achieve this level of comfort for these children but we know that together we can at least make a start.
We thank H2O for life for giving us an opportunity to help these children & to make a difference in their lives.
We are requesting that you join us by donating generously to this worthy cause.
Thank you,
