The Facts:
Water related diseases are the number one leading cause of death in the world. Diseases spurred by poor sanitation and by drinking water from contaminated sources kill more people each day than any other disease in the world. 1 out of every 6 people in the world don't have access to a safe source of water. That's over 1 billion people in the world who struggle to survive because of a lack of clean water. Every 15 seconds a child dies from water related diseases. These are people in all parts of the world: Central and South America, Africa, Asia. What we do: In just two years WAI has raised over $10,000. We send this money to Water Partners International our partner organization and it goes toward building water sanitation facilities in third world countries around the world. For the past two years we have sent our money to fund a project in Honduras. Fundraisers: Feast 2007 and 2008 - a night of food, bands, Candy Corn and Newtones performances Taboo Night - competitive Taboo tournament WAI Funny - a night of high school as well as college improv groups WAI Kids - awareness presentations to elementary and middle school kids Bake Sales WAI is not only focused on raising money but also on raising awareness throughout the community. We believe the first step to change is awareness.
