Help Turkana Get Clean Water


Water for Life and Livelihood

This organization funds all of the water projects I helped with this summer. I worked with the founder all summer. He is legit.

To feed ONE person THREE meals a day, foreign aid costs approximately $1.39 per person per day.

Foreign aid is a short term solution to the hunger problem in Africa.

A newly drilled fully equipped shallow well will provide water to grow food to feed 100 people.

These solar panel wells cost $14,000. Assuming the pump lasts 10 years it costs...

$14,000/100 people/10yrs/365 days = $0.04/person/day

4 cents per day to feed someone and give them clean water. :)

Yes.
