WATER WELLS

Drop in the Bucket

This is a site where people can read up on the projects people are doing in Africa to help get them clean drinking water. You can view pictures about what they look like, and the children and the people in their community helping to drill and get these wells produced. You can also read about what their project goals are. They want to have accomplished 100 wells by the end of this year and are asking for donations. They are really close to their goal.
      I really like this story because Africa is in need of water very badly. Over 4500 children die a day from water related diseases they say on this page. That is terrible for children to have to go through that. In a way I think this could tie to having cell phones. If Africa can produce the use of cell phones, hopefully they can successfully produce enough wells so there will be clean drinking water, and possibly this can even tie onto stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS.
