Why Water

  • Water born illnesses are the 2nd leading cause of death.
  • Of the 42,000 people who die each week from unsafe water, 90% are children.
  • Every 15 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.
  • At any given moment, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by people who are suffering from water-related illnesses.
  • More than 80 percent of the world’s diseases can be attributed to unsafe water sources, sanitation and hygiene.

How DO IT [well] Works

Do you like to hike? Are you crazy about soccer? Do you enjoy cooking?

Gather your friends who share your interest, and as a group, DO IT [well] — take what you enjoy doing together, and use it as a way to fund one complete well restoration in Africa. $2,500 restores a non-functioning well and provides access to sustainable, clean, safe water for an entire village of 1,500 people!

It’s easy! Register, give and follow your campaign progress online. Start your own “DO IT [well]” Campaign today.
