In five days, we’re launching this year’s September Campaign.
As you probably know, charity: water was born in September. Each year for our birthday, we team up with September babies and other supporters to take on something really big.
This year’s September Campaign will bring clean and safe drinking water to the Bayaka people in Central African Republic — one of the poorest and most remote countries in the world. Our goal is to raise $1.7 million with the help of individual fundraisers. 100% of the money raised will directly fund sustainable water projects.
A quick teaser of what’s to come…
We’ll release the full story next Monday, Aug. 16, when we launch the campaign. Throughout the next six weeks, we’ll also bring you videos of everything from Bayaka hunting practices to our local partner’s story of growing up in C.A.R.
Keep up with us here on the blog and “like” us on Facebook to get even more videos (every day!) of behind-the-scenes footage in C.A.R.
Our local partners in Central African Republic, ICDI, sent us a box of hunting equipment today in the mail…
A crossbow, darts (poison? we haven’t checked…) and a hatchet. They’re prepping us for our trip there later this month. We’ll be filming and collecting stories for this year’s September campaign.
Stay tuned. Jim Hocking and the rest of the ICDI team no doubt have some adventures in store for us. And we’ll make sure to share them with you.
