Schools receive high-water marks
|
 |
Nate Moreno, age 14 heard founding president Tom Eggum speak about the need for fresh drinking water in Africa and challenged his school to get involved. By involving every grade, all of the students learned about the need for water and raised money for a well. Even his teachers got involved! Not only did Nate raise the money for a well, he also raised money for land, a medical clinic and a classroom! Way to go Nate!
Orange County Lutheran High School drilled wells and boreholes for their Senior project and challenge each grade to raise money for a well, too! |

Walking 4 Water across the USA
|
In honor of children, mainly girls, that have to walk every day for water, we have put together events around the country called Walk 4 Water. They are 3 - 4 mile walks that represent the journey millions of people have to take each day to find water. Hundreds of people participate each year and learn about the exact village they are helping. It’s a wonderful, fun event designed for people of all ages. Currently, we have walks in Phoenix, AZ, Orange County, CA, Bencia, CA, Loveland, CO and San Francisco, CA. Would you like to join us on a Walk - or better yet start one in your city? Give us a call or email

It will be a great way to get to know your neighbors as well as help a desperate village around the world in need.

Invite your church to be the “hands and feet” of Jesus by restoring a village in need.
|
Pastor Bob Mooney from Messiah Church at their well dedication in Bukimbi, Uganda. |
Getting the opportunity to be the “hands & feet” of Jesus is what we are all called to do. Coming together as a church to help restore a village with fresh drinking water is a wonderful way to fulfill God’s calling. We’ll connect you to a specific village in need that you can share with your congregation. You’ll learn about the profile of the village and see photos of the actual water source they are forced to drink. This is a wonderful opportunity to share during the season of Advent. During the process, we encourage you to pray for the village in hopes of a smooth drilling process. After your well is complete, we encourage your church to send some of the members to travel with us to dedicate it first hand! It’s an incredible day to experience! You’ll see how this well will be a blessing for generations to come while learning the true meaning of gratefulness! |

Find your individual passion

Some people like to run, others paint, play music, make jewelry or climb mountains as in Mt. Everest! Find your inner passion! What drives you? Find your inner spark and turn it into a fundraiser. That’s what Mary Lee has done. She’s turned her tea parties into a vehicle to bring awareness and for raising money for water. She and her friends have raised money for nearly five wells!

Families are giving kids an idea what it’s like living without fresh water.
|
Alia, age 5 walks through the snow to collect water for her family. |
For Chelsea, getting involved in Water 4 Kids was much more than raising money for well in Magooli, Uganda. She wanted to get her kids involved by giving them an idea what it was like to walk to get water, carry it and how far it DOES NOT go. So in December, they shut off the water to their house and had them tromp through the snow with jars and bowls to their outdoor raised spigot by the animal area. Trip after trip they made to fill toilet tanks, drinking water pitchers, etc. and found that washing hands, brushing teeth...everything was very labor intensive! Chelsea said it gave them understanding, appreciation and eagerness in their giving!
The kids made numerous trips throughout the day to satisfy their water needs. They understood how burdensome the task would be day after day. Chelsea said they didn’t get much school-work done with fetching water, so they understood how it would take away educational opportunities. What an amazing way to involve the whole family! |

Leave a legacy with your family foundation.

Terry & Sara Lee at their well and village dedication in Seka, Uganda. |
The Lee Family decided long ago that they wanted to leave an important long-lasting legacy that would impact thousands of people. Not only did they decide to drill a well, but adopted an entire village in Seka, Uganda. They knew they would be investing in the children in the area, along with their children's children! Families will get to learn about the village they are helping and get an opportunity to develop a long lasting relationship with them. Family members can travel with us to dedicate their well and work in their village! |
