THANK YOU ALL!

The funding goal for the well project in Dogon country was met! And it was only up for 5 days! Wow. Thanks to all who contributed to the project. You are changing the lives of many. When I first came here I was shocked by the amount of time and work that goes into simple everyday tasks that we take for granted. Better access to water is the beginning of a better life for this community. It will improve the health and hygiene of the village as well as free up the time it previously took to haul water long distances. This free time can now be used for small income generating projects, education or just quality down time with friends and family under the neem trees.

The community is very thankful.
