The Basics
Access to Clean Water is a vital component in:
- the Elimination of Poverty
- Political Stabilization
- Education and Equality of Women
- Eradication of Curable Disease
People around the world are forced to spend excessive time and energy going to collect clean water, sometimes hours a day. Children are forced to quit school and parents are unable to hold normal jobs, making it impossible for them to create a better world for themselves.
What is Needed
The Water Project Inc is an incredible charity that takes donations and builds wells in water unstable communities around the world. Sells 4 Wells will partner with The Water Project by allowing people to turn their junk into well-building donations.
Our Goal
Create an online yardsale site where people can "buy" gently used items in exchange for a donation to the Water Project. Each site will be focussed on a single geographic location (i.e. Richmond, Virginia or Austin, Texas) making it possible to for each city to group fund single wells in "sister cities" across the globe.
Risks & Challenges
Currently, money is needed to advertise the site in the launch city. Once the ball is rolling, word of mouth should be sufficient to sustain the traffic utilizing the site.
