100 Wells Challenge
Giving to build wells and provide clean water Every day, millions of women and children in developing countries walk several hours to collect water that is safe for their families to drink. Sadly, too often the water that they find is contaminated. Unclean water causes millions of people, especially young children, to contract preventable deadly diseases every year. One in eight people still do not have access to safe drinking water and more than half of the diseases in the world are caused by unclean water. ELCA World Hunger is concerned about the growing lack of clean water, especially among people who live in poverty around the world and in the United States. Yes, there are people in the United States who don’t always have access to clean water. Lutheran youth in the Southwestern Conference have the opportunity to support the clean water challenge by collecting votes ($1 donations) for the "100 Wells Challenge." Think about how many times you rely on clean water during the day, and collect what you can to meet this challenge! The 100 Wells Challenge unites the hopes of Lutheran youth across the country to raise $250,000 and build 100 wells or support water projects where they are needed most. Youth from five churches in the Southwestern Conference will deliver our collection to the ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans this summer! It takes $2,500 to build one well... I wonder what we could accomplish across the 13 churches in the Southwestern Conference?
