The thirst project is people are helping fund raise money to help build an improvement in the world. With the help of students and volunteers all of the country are reaching new heights everyday. The thirst project was started by 19 year old in college. Over 1 billion people are living without safe and clean water.The Thirst Project wants to give clean and safe drinking water to communities around the world that don’t have that opportunity.
These diseases are killing 2.2 million people every single year. Not only is this killing people, but saving water is a huge task for many people around the world. 4,100 children die every day because of diseases in unsafe water.In these communities, the average person walks 3.75 miles to collect water. some countries that are being helped by this organization are Africa, Uganda and Kenya. To build a pump in Uganda you need around $8,000 and in Kenya you need $20,000.Three things that can happen to your body as a result of no access to clean water is u can get worms in your body that will grow about 12 inches in a year and will then try and dig out of your body to get out. You can also get maggots in your body that will make your stomach bloated and the eventual pop. Another disease u can get is diarrhea cause by inadequate drinking water. The way i can help for fresh clean water is to raise at least 1$. The way i gave a dollar is from my own money because i want it to feel that i actually helped. I feel good about myself by giving that dollar because i know that it will help the family in the other countries with the clean water they need so they won't have to walk miles for nasty water. It also makes me feel good because with $1 i can help more than one person. |
