WHY BUILD WELLS• Every day thousands of people in rural and some
urban areas prepare to go to school and work and do not have access to clean water
• No access to water or dirty water leads to illnesses and therefore people cannot go to work and school.
• Building wells improves people’s lives and productivity.
• It improves health and keeps students in school• Keeps animals healthy so that they can feed
families in rural communities• Improves chances of building more schools• Reduces financial burdens on schools which often
buy water to meet their basic needs. Their money can now go to books and other educational supplies
FUNDRAISING
