Help Make the Uganda Water Project Reality !!
How would you feel about carrying water in a can for over 2 miles? Just so you could have something to drink today, and to bathe in? How about carrying water for your entire family so they can survive another day?
This is what is happening to so many people in countries that do not enjoy the benefits we have here in America. Can you just imagine for a minute, a small college of 400 students, teachers and they all have to carry water daily? This is reality for St. Catherine's College in Uganda, near Kampala. Besides lack of good clean and safe water, Uganda in general is experiencing lack of electricity because Lake Victoria is so low they cannot generate power. Even the largest city has electricity for mayber 1-2 hours per day, on a good day. Imagine hospitals and schools attempting to take care of people in these conditions. All we have to do is remember Katrina here in the US and what it did for thousands.
So, please help me raise the necessary funds so we can drill a couple of wells that will supply clean and safe water for the college and about 7,500 people in 3 small villages nearby. Total cost is $7,500 and so far we have sent $4,250 towards this project and they have started - but in order to complete the drilling, they need another $3,250 -
We are so close to seeing this project and dream become reality - and with your help it will happen. Imagine how you will feel knowing you have helped provide clean and safe water for our fellow human beings. I know how I feel - and it is great!!
