Yes! I am so excited to announce that I was approved for a grant to get clean drinking water for one of the schools that I work with. The grant was approved by an excellent organization called Water Charity. Here is some background information on their initiative:

As an initiative of Water Charity, we do small but critical water and sanitation projects. Each one is a solution to a problem, costs no more than $500, and uses appropriate technology. We start them at once and complete them very quickly.

We partner with Peace Corps Volunteers serving throughout the world, who identify, implement, manage, and evaluate the projects. They work in concert with NGOs and governmental agencies near where they are stationed.

Each project has a high impact, resulting in clean water and effective sanitation for individuals, families, and communities. We are flexible, and can react to emergencies.

Now all I have to do is await funding. To donate to my project please go to this website:

The total amount needed is $500.00

If 50 people donate $10, then the project will be funded.

If 25 people donate $20, then the project will be funded.

It's really that easy!

Peace,

Sarah
