Thank You for Coming By!
If you saw our poster in a restaurant, thank you for caring about these little ones and recognizing that they are "thirsty too" and then DOING SOMETHING! Feel free to peruse the site and learn about what we're doing and where we're working. Also, we'd love if you'd consider joining the I'm Thirsty Too campaign by bringing it to your local restaurants!

Why Get Involved?
We created I'm Thirsty Too as a campaign to raise money for clean water wells throughout Africa. However, not only is this a great way to actually raise money, but it was created as a way for passionate people to get involved. We hope that this is an easy campaign for you to take to YOUR city. By simply printing the posters, talking to your local restaurants, and then collecting money each week, you can raise funds for clean water!

Current Well Location
We are working in conjunction with Children's HopeChest throughout Africa. They work in Uganda, Ethiopia and Swaziland to bring holistic orphan care to the poorest of the poor. We have the opportunity to partner with them to bring clean water to these communities of orphans! For more information about Children's HopeChest, click HERE

Latest Project
Our most recent well project was for the Rapha School and community in Uganda. For this project, we also worked with KidsLake, a partnering campaign that focuses on getting kids involved in helping other kids. As well as bringing in money for a new well, money was raised to pay for students tuition and medical packs for pregnant women in the community.
