The Thirst Project is an organization that 8 college students started.The Thirst Project is mainly trying to solve the global water crisis by going to middle schools,high schools and college campuses to raise money to make fresh water wells in places that need clean water. The solution to the water crisis is to build fresh water wells in the places that need fresh water.The only way that problem can be solved is by raising money even a dollar can change someones life. To build a pump it costs from $7,800 to $20,000 dollars with one pump it can provide one whole community with fresh water.
The countries that are being helped with the water crisis are Uganda, Kenya, El Salavdor and many more. You can help by donating even just a dollar everything makes a difference. It will save many people and give them something that we have and they don't have. It will impact there lives greatly. I raised the dollar that I am donating by telling the story of the Thirst Project and how people from other parts pf the world dont have water.
When I heard the negative affects of dirty water I felt very sorry for the people that don't have clean water because here in america we have alot of water that gets wasted without caring. The Thirst Project impacted my life because now i will be more careful with water being wasted and water in general plenty of water gets thrown away for nothing. Three things that can happen with lack of clean water is that you can turn blind because humans are born with a little bit of chlamydia on there eyes , they can also cyanobacteria which affects the liver and malaria. I have never expirenced or witnessed lack of clean water but if I did I think I would be very careful of where I got my water and what has been in it. When I fund raised the dollar there were questions and additional comments like "how do they survive" and it must be really hard living through that water crisis. After I asked for someone for help I felt very proud because they made an impact on someone elses life.
