The Thirst Project is an organization that helps provide fresh water wells in African counties that have no clean drinking water. The Thirst Project was founded here in California. They are trying to solve the major crisis of getting fresh water to countries that dont have access to any at all. They can solve this problem by building fresh water wells. Building a well depends on the country. They cost between $8,000-$12,000. Some of the counties that are being helped include Zimbabwe, Uganda and many more.
You can be apart of this organization too. You can help these people by donating money to help fund the building of the water wells. I myself asked people for a donation of at least a dollar towards helping The Thirst Project. I asked some friends of mine if they would donate towards the cause and they said yes. I was able to raise one dollar. They didnt ask me why I needed the dollar because they had also heard of the The Thirst Project and wanted to help as well.
By donating this dollar I feel as if I made a change in thousands of peoples live half way across the world. it makes me feel good about myself. It also made me realize that the smallest thing I can do for someone can be the biggest impact in their lives. It also makes me think about the many lives I could be saving with this dollar towards The Thirst Project
