Everyone needs clean water to drink; we're very fortunate here in the United States to have access to clean water. Even the homeless have access to clean drinking water they can go to a public water fountain. In Africa unsanitary water is one of the top problems they are facing. Dirty water kills 4000 children a day. Many people in the communities are dying because so many terrible diseases are living in the water.
To help the situation an organization called The Water Project gave them wells. The three wells were recently built in Kakamega, Kenya. The North Way Christian Kidz GIG raised over $9000. It was a church in Pennsylvania they raised the money during camp. Missionary trips help in donating water to the people of Africa and also many organizations donate money for them to buy wells.
A way to help Africa would be to raise money to donate not only wells but other necessities. Things that we all use everyday that we don't even think about. You could hold a fundraiser at a school and the person to donate the highest amount of money gets a prize. Also volunteering and raising awareness because some people would like to and are able to donate but don't quite think about it. Their are many ways to help that would be easy for us that we just don't think about.
