Fountain Springs
HOLIDAY GOAL: $5,000
To build a new water project in a village.

A message from Fountain Springs:

We all know about world AIDS, but how many of us think about global diarrhea. Did you know that the least talked about major cause of death for children in Africa is lack of clean water?

This Christmas, rather than sending a trinket or throw-away gift, we're asking you to join with our church family and give the gift that keeps giving life - the gift of clean water.

Our goal is to raise $5000.00 to place a new well or water project in a village within a developing country. You can help us reach this goal. And hopefully, by next year, we'll be sending you pictures of our completed project!

For more information, or if you have questions about your gift, please contact Natalie at natalie@fountainspringschurch.com .

Get involved. Give something meaningful. Give drinkable water today!

Help us build a well.

100% of your donation will directly build freshwater wells and fund basic sanitation projects. View donor disclosure policy >

charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. We give 100% of the money raised to direct project costs, funding freshwater wells and other sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need.


The water crisis affects 1 in 6 people on the planet.		$20 can give one person clean water for 20 years.
	1.1 billion people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us. 80% of all disease on the planet is attributable to the lack of water and basic sanitation. learn more >		Underground aquifers can be found even in dry areas, and with the proper funding and knowledge, wells can be built. A freshwater well costs $5,000 and can serve an average of 500 people with clean, safe drinking water for 20 years. learn more >

What happens after a well is built?		Closing the loop: proving it in GoogleEarth.
	After a well is installed, charity: water partners work directly with villagers, teaching them how to maintain and fix their well and hand pump device, while also conducting basic hygiene and sanitation classes.		charity: water proves every well built using photos, video, and GPS coordinates plotted in Google Earth. charity: water staff or volunteers visit the projects on the ground, to monitor and evaluate the work being done. see the finished wells in Google Earth >
