******************************************************
Nearly 1 billion people do not have clean water.
Every 19 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness.
During the 40 days of Lent, Project 1040 aims to raise money to build 10 wells, which would provide lasting clean water for 5,000 people daily. The wells will be dug in Tigray, Ethiopia, the poorest region in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Your contributions will be matched—dollar for dollar—up to $50,000, to reach our total goal of $100,000.
We also want to raise awareness for the world water crisis, a problem that actually has a solution!
10 wells. 40 days.
