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
The current well we are focusing on will be put in Jacobtown, Liberia. Liberia is a small and very poor country in West Africa, with no water system, power system or sanitation system country wide. Those who drink clean water are able only by the availability of clean water wells. Many people lack the basic necessity of clean water. Because of this, 1 in 4 children will not make it to their fifth birthday. A well can absolutely transform their villages into places of hope!This well will be located in Jacobtown, a small community just outside the capital city of Monrovia. It is located next to an area known as "red light district" (not for the same reason you are imagining. The area at one time had 1 stop light), and is considered one of the most dangerous and despairing areas of the city. The well will be placed on the property of a community church and will be available to the entire community without charge or expectation of any kind.The organization that is overseeing this well project is Spirit Liberia, a non-profit 501(c)3 located in Phoenix, AZ and working all across Liberia.*note: We are partnering with Spirit Liberia for a total of 10 wells (this is our second) throughout Liberia. We will also partner with other organization and will update this site as to the specifics of where EVERY dollar is spent.

What You Can Do
Thanks for you interest in getting involved in I'm Thirsty Too. We hope that this is a simple way for people all across the world to get involved in helping people get clean water!What you will do:~Ask local restaurants and stores if they will partner will us by displaying posters and jars to collect money for the wells. ~Print and and deliver the posters and jars.~Collect the money and mail it in to the the organization we are partnering with to build the current well.These steps are broken down in detail in "List of Steps" available for download on the left of the page.

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.
