"Anything else you're interested in is not going to happen if you can't breathe the air and drink the water. Don't sit this one out. Do something."

Change Christmas, Give Water

Donate at Change.org

Proverbs 25:25

Like cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a faraway country.

Mission Statement

To illuminate good news from Africa, for Africa and about Africa, and things that we can do to help solve the world water crisis.  

To explore the connections between Christianity, compassion, empowerment, and helping people to have clean water.

Christians do not have a "monopoly" on compassion. But, considering that 80% of all disease is related to the lack of access to clean water,  What would Jesus do? What should we do?
