THEIR MISSION:

Surge for Water invests in communities with safe water, sanitation, and menstrual hygiene solutions to help end the cycle of poverty. The organization’s community-led, women-centered approach has impacted over 1 million people across 12 countries that have led to improvements in health, education, income, and a chance for a better future. 

WHY WE CARE:

Our family has been deeply involved with Surge for Water, especially Jay, who has worked with the organization since he was in high school. Jay visited Kaberamaido, Uganda to meet communities bearing the brunt of the global water crisis and worked hand in hand with local partners to build wells & latrines, rehabilitate wells, deliver hygiene and sanitation solutions, and menstrual health empowerment training to name a few. Ending the cycle of poverty begins when basic rights like access to safe water and sanitation are available. 

We’re proud to support Surge for Water and hope we can count on your shared support. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

We are fundraising for a latrine, an essential toilet that keeps human waste out of water supplies. When communities have no other option but to use the fields as their bathroom, fecal matter enters lakes, rivers, and the soil. This not only pollutes the environment, but can also pollute water sources that some communities drink from. 

Our goal is to raise $7,000 for the latrine.
