Wheels for Wells- Clean Water for Africa

@wheelsforwells

Hi! My name is Abi, I am in 9th grade and I'm raising money to provide a school in Africa with a well. Did you know that every day 4500 children under the age of 5 die of water related diseases? Also, girls can't go to school because they have to get clean water constantly. I am going to change that. Help me raise $10000 by donating today. Together we can make a difference!

Get them to give! Thank you so much! Abi How am I doing? Free Fundraising Thermometers for fundraisers
