Something is always better than nothing

The beautiful sound of clean water

Bicycles Carrying Clean Water
It would be easy to miss the significance of these 4 seconds.
These women are bringing clean water back to their homes on their bicycles from the well that YOU helped build in their village!
This clean water changes everything. You are changing everything!

Local African Craftsman at work
Local craftsmen are beautiful.
A living wage changes everything for people with so many skills but less opportunity.
& almost nothing boosts a local economy in African communities more than access to clean water.

The walk to water
Just a short beautiful walk to clean water
Listen to those giggles
Listen to that joy...
Those giggles...
THAT is what a child’s life in Africa is meant to consist of.
But that’s impossible when there is a bully robbing them of joy, giggles, health, education, & hope.
& that’s why we #fightthebully
So there can be joy like this

Clean water in Mafale Village
When the new well in Mafale village is a short bike ride from your home you can load up all the gerry cans of CLEAN water for the whole day & that changes everything.
No more thirst or disease or 6 hour walks!
Behind the scenes at 1 of the orphanages we partner with in Malawi — all gathered in front of their new well :)
We’re celebrating today because CLEAN WATER is coming to these kids at Rabu Primary School & all of Rabu Village because of YOU & YOUR generosity on #givingtuesday2019 & leading up to it. We hit our goal to complete this well, but then (as is often the case working in Africa) there were issues which increased the cost dramatically! Thankfully, some amazing folk from the Renown Collective community stepped in to finish the well.
Clean water is coming to these kids — just imagine their faces... imagine the joy, the PARTY when they find out 🙂
Clean water is coming. Which means better education is coming, better health is coming, hope for girls & orphans is coming...
Your tangible love is coming to Rabu!
When there’s a well & bathrooms for the 1st time in a village, there’s gonna be celebratory songs!
Tired of shopping yet? Today, #givingtuesday is the perfect remedy. We are building a well at this Rabu Primary School in Malawi with 1,200 students. EVERY PENNY you donate today goes straight to this well & changing the world of an entire village with clean water! THANK YOU for joining with these amazing people. We can finish funding this well today! The engineering crew is standing by on the ground ready to drill as soon as we wire the funds.

Behind the scenes fun - Driving in Malawi
A little behind the scenes fun driving in Malawi + snakes on the road, questionable bridges, & crossing river beds
Our friend Reuben (who we’ll introduce more properly later) translating the songs that each village would greet us with...
before our work here with clean water they were sad, but now they are happy.
& so are we.

Our welcoming party arriving in Nkhwewa Village
Brain is a bit tired from going non stop for a while but wanted to process off the cuff & unscripted with you all for a moment
EVERY Momma is happy when their child is drinking clean water
A little behind the scenes fun with these amazing heroes & leaders here in Malawi fighting for orphans in every way — the Fab Five we have coined them.
#renowncollective #walletsforwater
So very honored that we have been able to partner with PaCT - they are an African led organization doing incredible work on the ground here in Uganda that you will all cheer for. Much more on their work here to come. So thankful for Blood:water matching us with PaCT & introducing us to these heroes in the fight.
