Monthly Donation #Village Well Ride
More people die each year from dirty water than from violence. It’s shocking – we agree.
According to UNICEF, 5,000 children die per day from disease stemming from contaminated water.
What’s more, the process of going to fetch water is a long and arduous one, and usually falls to young girls. They must travel hours in each direction, facing wild animals, precarious terrain, and even predatory adults. Even if their journey is a “safe” one, they miss school, putting them behind.
When adult women are tasked with collecting water, they face the same risks and can’t earn income during those long hours of walking.
Larry Chatterly is riding 2,696 miles from Canada to Mexico to raise money for clean water wells to change that! Each well costs $7,500 and gets clean water for 500 people in South Sudan, the newest country in the world.
By donating even $15 each month, you can support the installation of wells for clean, uncontaminated water right in the villages of South Sudan where they are so desperately needed.
*This is a monthly re-occurring donation that will be charged to the payment profile you have entered.

Clean Water Impacts Much More Than Hydration
Clean water impacts much more than just hydration. In the village of Majok Goi, children walk 3 hours to the Nile River, avoiding alligators, snakes, and hippos, just to collect water for their families. Not only is the trek dangerous, but this prevents them from going to school.
In addition, the water from the Nile River is often contaminated, leading to giardia, amoebas, and parasites. Together we can empower the children in Majok Goi with the opportunity to spend their days gaining the education they need as they prepare to shape their nation's future. Each well costs $7,500 to build and serves 500 individuals so $15 gives one person access to clean water for a lifetime!
$15 = Clean Water for 1 person for a lifetime
$75 = Clean Water for 1 family for a lifetime
$375 = Clean Water for 5 families for a lifetime
$3,750 = Clean water for 250 people for a lifetime
$7,500 = Clean Water for 500 people for a lifetime
$15,000 = Clean Water for 1,000 people for a lifetime
