what is this?

Someone you know has challenged you. The bucket of water is approximately 40 pounds and represents an obstacle to a child's education.

why should i care?

Women and children walk an average of nearly 4 miles every day to get dirty water, which keeps them from attending school. Clean water in a community causes school attendance to skyrocket and a significant improvement in the health of children. Additionally, over 1,000 children die each day due to illness caused by unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene.

goal

Donate today (below)! We ask that within the next 2 days, please deliver the bucket by foot, wagon, or car to a friend or neighbor. The goal is to get them in as many hands as possible so that we can walk with the 844 million people that have to walk for water each day that’s not clean. Sending many to school for the first time in their life.
