Events
Description
One thing we learned from the pandemic? Water matters, and access to it means communities can improve their overall health and economy, women can start small businesses to support their families. Children—especially girls—can attend school. We created this challenge to connect our amazing supporters to the people and country they support. Walking together as a global community, we will help drill a new well in a South Sudan village ($15,000). When we reach our goal, everyone participating in the event will receive photos of the well once complete.
