Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I am organizing an endurance mountain bike ride on November 8, 2008 in Marin to raise money for WaterAid. My fundraising target is $3200 because that pays for the construction of a hand-dug well fitted with a handpump which will provide clean water for approximately 300 people in Ethiopia.
Here are some more statistics that might help to guide your donation: * $30 trains a mason to build latrines in Nepal. * $50 pays for tools for a hand-dug well in Ghana. * $120 buys a rope pump in Uganda. * $360 pays for a borehole and a handpump to serve 15 families in Bangladesh. * $700 pays for an improved hand-dug well in Salima, Malawi fitted with a Malda direct action handpump. * $3000 pays for a 40 foot hand-dug well fitted with a handpump that provides water for 250-300 people.
Thank you! If you are interested in fundraising, or riding the event and contributing to WaterAid, please let me know.
