Clean water is essential for learning and development.

You might read that statement and ask, “How can access to clean water possibly relate to learning and development?” The answer is simple: a healthy mind requires a healthy body.

Every day countless men, women, and children suffer from severe water-related illnesses contracted from unsanitary drinking sources. In fact, every day 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday.

How can we expect anyone to learn and develop to their full potential if their basic needs aren’t being met?
It doesn’t have to be this way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections, and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

As a team dedicated to providing industry-leading learning and development, we believe we have an obligation to help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to fully develop their knowledge of the world around them.

Our goal is to help charity: water and Pacific Dental Services reach their commitment of building 100 wells for Ethiopia.

100% of the money donated will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

Please donate to our campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.
