HOW YOU CAN HELP
There are 3 ways you can get involved:
1: Share the story
The first and easiest way is just by helping spread the word! Share our site with others and help raise awareness for this epedimic that plagues nearly 1 biillion people worldwide. Talk to your community, your church, and your co-workers and let them know how they can bring the gift of a life-changing sustainable resource to millions of people. Follow our journey on this site and encourage others to as we post new blog entries each week during our hike.
2: Commit to change
When you realize that worldwide, people spend $35 billion each year purchasing bottled water, you begin to see how even making a simple decision to drink tap water can open the door to change. Many of the world’s water problems could be solved with a one-time investment of $10 billion. Next time you are shopping or eating at a restaurant, choose not to purchase bottled water and instead donate what you would have spent. After all, the majority of bottled water is simply tap water anyway! (No joke!)
3: Give
Help us make a tangible difference in people’s lives! Whether through a one-time donation or pledging by the mile, your help will make a difference for generations to come. We will be opening a campaign through mycharity: water that will remain open during the duration of our trip. Our goal is to raise $10,000 - enough to supply water to two communities! Every single dollar raised will go directly to building fresh water wells!
We will be personally financing our own costs (bills, food, equipment, etc.) during our trip. Every donation made to our mycharity: water campaign will be processed and distributed by Charity: Water and every single dollar will go directly towards project costs! Take a look at prjects they've already funded. Also, charity: water shows the exact location of every single project through their interactive map!
