For children living in Sahel, the first step out of poverty begins with clean water. We can help change that!

During the hotter part of the year the temperature in the Sahel region of West Africa is more than 110 degrees.

Women and children walk for hours up and down mountains to collect water, which is contaminated and dirt colored, one bucket at a time. The homemade rope burns their hands; it causes bleeding and leaves callouses- even scars.

But we can change that. We can bring solar powered pumps into communities and pipe water to tap stands right next to these children's homes.

Help me play a small part in changing the lives of the children of Sahel- donate to my campaign.

100% of what we raise will directly fund water projects. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send us proof in pictures and GPS coordinates so we can see the actual people and communities we impacted.
