It all started with a picture one of the teens took . It’s amazing what that picture did it started a whole new organization called the thirst project by a bunch of college students. they became aware of the global water crisis in the summer in 2007 through another helper of the organization who had recently returned from a humanitarian service trip in uganda. The thirst project is an organization that helps places like kenya ,uganda get clean water because they don't have access to that. the organization is trying to solve the water crisis in different countries and help get health water ans stop the death percent caused by dirty water. the solution to get clean water for them is to build well's fountains . the costly expensive to build a well or fountain is $12,000 thru $15,000 dollars and that includes everything . the countries being helped are kenya, uganda ,rwanda, sierraleone.
how cam you help ? you ask ? well you can help by donating money. anything can help it can be a cent or 5. i fund raised the dollar by asking people around my house and asking friends.when i found put the water crisis in south Africa i was shocked like wow they already suffer and now there suffering even more. the things they can get from dirty water are so shocking. the effects of drinking dirty water is crazy one thing is getting infected by bateria and dying , another thing is swallowing tiny bacteria molicues. another side effect is getting deadly dieses and most likely to die of them. the death percentage for kids is very high. no i have not witnessed any dirty water problems where i lived or ive visited.
yes my family was curios to know where there money was gonna go and what would they do with it . i told them it was going to an organization to help people in countries with dirty water. but i assured them it was it for a good cause.asking people for money was a little bit embarrassing but i knew it was for a good cause. i didnt make a fuss so i asked and sure enough i got lots of quarters and change.my feeling of help feels very good knowing i can give a baby or a mom clean water to drink and be healthy.i will be taking good care of water not wasting it because if i were in there situation i would treasure my water.
