Why University of Utah CB is fundraising for clean water

Remember, it only costs $5000 to build a well that serves clean water to over 250 people! :)

Many of us have no idea what its like to be thirsty.

Here in the United States, we use about 400 billions gallons of water each day. That means the average family of four is responsible for about 400 gallons per day.

But imagine if you had no clean water. Imagine sweating and straining to haul contaminated water back to your family. Imagine suffering from preventable things like diarrhea, parasites or leeches. Unbelievably, 80% of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.

Here I thought I was doing the world a favor by turning off the tap when I brushed my teeth.

After learning more about charity: waters work, we know ASCE can make a dent in the global water crisis. We are starting a campaign and in the next two months, We are going to raise $5000 to build clean water wells for the millions who need them.

We are looking for anyone that can help.

Together, weve got an incredible opportunity to provide clean water for those in need. And the great thing about donating to charity: water is that 100% of donations go directly to the water projects, and well get to see exactly what projects our dollars funded.

Please do join us.

    I was drinking clean water that came out of my tap when I read about this. Everyone should have easy access to clean drinking water.
