Today is World Water Day and once again I’m teaming up with The Adventure Project to help bring about change in a unique way.
There are great organizations building water wells around the country, but unfortunately 1/3 of the wells built in the last 20 years is broken.
In India, Water for People is addressing this issue by training well mechanics who are trained and equipped to fix those broken wells. Each trained well mechanic will care for 50 wells which means clean water for 5,000 people.
The Adventure Project’s goal is to empower 186 people to become well mechanics in India. Every $550 we raise helps one mechanic receive:
*Training classes
*Tools and spare parts
*A one-year stipend to help an entrepreneur launch their business.
BUT WAIT….
Today, on World Water Day, if TAP can raise $25,000 the Prem Rawat Foundation will match that $25,000. That means 90 trained well mechanics = clean water for 450,000 people! (PRF is awesome – they matched last years fundraising effort as well!)
Help me raise $275 today and we’ll fund one well mechanic and help TAP reach their goal. No donation is too small!
