The thirst project is a foundation
on a mission. To bring clean water and save lives in third world countries. The thirst project was founded by a group of college students who were given a presentation on the water crisis going on around the world. After hearing about this serious situation and its affects the students felt a greater need to help make a change. The water crisis in our world greatly effects people in small countries. Thousands of people in third world countries such as africa are not able to have accsess to clean water not only for drinking but to do other everyday things such as bathe and wash food. Not being able to have clean water not only leaves people thirsty and dehydrated but can cause many diseases and in some cases cause blindeness.
Our school was given the oppertunity to
be a part of something bigger than ourselves. A man from the thirst project came to our high school to speak about the water crisis and give us an oppertuniy to help. He came to the water project by hearing stories about his friend from college and his life in africa. His friend told he and his claasmates about his life growing up as a little boy in africa. He had many exciting stories about his life, he even used to chase lions for fun! However the story that stuck most with our speaker was the way his friend would get water. At the age of 7 as a young boy he would walk miles a day just to bring water that wasnt clean. Not only does this affect people health wise but women were not able to get jobs to support there families and children were not able to attend school and get an education due to having to get water everyday. Today, the speaker who visited us travels the country speaking to middle schools and high schools across the united states.
This organization does not only spread
word to people but make a bigger change. We were presented a video by the cast of the television series Teen Wolf and what they did to help change. They donated all the money needed to build a freshwater well for a small country in africa. To build a well costs about 8,000 through 15,000 dollars. Our school was delivered 2 ,5 gallon sized water jugs for us to help raise money for freshwater wells. Building a well not only provides water but saves lives by dropping desease rates overnight. This foundation has given us the oppertunity to become a part of something bigger than ourselves and help make a change and save lives. The thirst project is a foundation on a mission.
