1 in 9 people.

844 million people around the world lack access to clean, safe water.

Which means a staggering 1 out of every 9 people is impacted by the world’s clean water crisis.

When access to clean, accessible drinking water is scarce, the time lost to gathering water and suffering from water-borne diseases permeates everyday life and limits people’s true potential.

What we realized three years ago and still holds true today is life depends on water, and the well depends on YOU.

Through the construction of our sustainable deep borehole wells, over 200,000 people have received a life-changing resource and a renewed sense of hope for their futures. Each of our wells is constructed with solar paneling to provide renewable energy. This sustainable power source means our wells can continually pump clean water. And through this clean water, there are increased opportunities for education, economic pursuits, food security, and time that communities don’t have otherwise.

This is progress, but in a country like Tanzania where 50% of the population is still without access to safe water, our work isn’t done!

In this season of giving, I’m here to remind you that a gift of any size will deliver hope in Tanzania. In fact, just $6 can send a child to school, restore economic independence, and even save a life. When you donate $30, you’re providing economic and health advantages to an entire household. Remember, your donation is also contributing to valuable hours saved and miles walked!

Thank you for helping us change the conversation about the clean water crisis and what is possible when athletes, teams, and fans come together for the greater good!

With deep appreciation,
