Nile – 3.27.09 – Charity Water
Roughly, about 1 week before spring break we visited Charity:Water. Charity:Water is an organization that not only gives kids in Africa fresh water but Adults, the Elderly, and anyone who needs it and/or deserves it will get Fresh water. Their goal is to get every person in Africa fresh water, and with our help and donations they can do it.
I learned a lot from out guide she told use how their company extremely dedicated to giving these people in Africa at least fresh water for their everyday lives, and as seen in the videos, 80% of the diseases they get are from drinking dirty or somewhat contaminated water. But not only did they tell us how Africa needs better water, they told us how we can help, for example, we can apply our school for a fundraiser to donate money (with the permission and guidance by our teacher), or we can even sell bracelets at our school for $5 each and give the charity back the money. I think this charity is great and sustainable.
The following video shows most or some of the main goals of Charity:Water.
