Please make your check out to ‘Water to Thrive’ .

The walk for water starts early in the morning for most rural Africans. Women and girls begin each day with this arduous task, a task which can take up to five hours to complete. The burden is both physical and emotional. The containers of water they carry weigh between 40 and 60 pounds. Emotionally, the burden is even heavier. Mothers must give their children the only thing they have available to drink – contaminated water that may make them extremely sick. Each day is the same – is a struggle to survive.

Water to Thrive seeks to offer a solution to this pressing need for clean, safe water. We recognize that access to clean water is essential and is a basic human right. In our efforts to bring clean water to impoverished people, our first task is to create awareness of the problem.
