Did you know that lots of people around the world don't have access to clean water ? The problem is that the water they drink is not sanitized . This causes many diseases because the water is contaminated . These diseases can kill more than 2 million families every year . Some of the countries that are being affected by this problem are in the African Continent . Without access to safe drinking water, people will continue to die sencesly . The Thirst Project is an organization that helps solve the global water crisis across the world . The Thirst Organization was born by a bunch of college students . It was born in the year 2007 .
The solution to this problem is to build is to build wells for these communities that don't have clean water . The cost to build a well is between 7,000 to 20,000 . Diseases and deaths are decreased when the countries have access to clean water, and building wells solves the problem . I believe I can help solve this problem by donating to their cause and letting others be aware of this global problem so that they can also be involved . I collected my dollar by asking family members and friends for a donation after explaining the Thirst Project to them . The donors wanted to find out what countries were being helped at this time . I was very happy when the people I asked also asked questions because it showed me that they wanted to be involved in the situation .
However, after realizing what other countries go through to be able to get water I feel very fortunate, but empathize with the countries in Africa . The women and young girls have to travel 3 miles for water and it's not clean . When you drink un sanitized water you can become very ill . There can also be diseases and you can die . No, I have not witnessed or experienced lack of clean water . In my opinion I believe that in order for us to make a difference in other peoples lives we need to save our water and not waste it . Don't leave the water faucet running when not in use, don't take long showers, and we need to decrease the amount of water used when watering our plants/grass . When I was asking people for help I felt like I was doing the right thing . When I raised the dollar I was proud of myself because that dollar I raised was going to help millions of people around the world and it will make a dramatic difference in their lives .
