I posted yesterday that our first goal is to raise $1,000 to cover some upfront costs of drilling our well in Laisamis. Right now, we are about $200 away from reaching that goal.

I would like to ask 10 of you to donate $20 to cover that.

That may just seem like easy math, but in reality, $20 is a significant amount. Here’s why…

The total estimated cost* of drilling our well in Laisamis is $10,000.

It is estimated that our well will be able to serve 500 people.

So, if you do the math there ($10,000 / 500 people), the $20 you donate will provide water for 1 person.

The kicker is that it is estimated that the well will be functional for 20 years.

That’s a pretty god deal. I would be willing to bet that your water bill over the next month is going to be more than $20.

Click the donate button to be one of the 10 people that helps us reach our first goal.**

Notes:
* We will be able to determine a more exact cost for the well once we get the results of our surveys.
** If you would like to donate more, or less, than $20, you can use the donate widget at the top of our web page.
