FINISHED 3RD AND 4TH WELLS
Just so exciting, thinking that only a few days ago, we were still working on our 3rd well, and now we are working on our 5th. But we are not taking a break just yet, we still have 17 more wells to build by Adele's birthday, and only 16 days to go. If you still haven't donated, don't wait too long :-)
We want to say a big THANK YOU for everyone who took part in our project so far. Every donation made, big or small, helped many people who really need it. You are all so amazing, and there is nothing more satisfying than to think that up until now we have saved 5,242 lives!
Don't forget to visit our fundraising page. If anyone has any kind of problem or any kind of question,, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to help what we can. All the info can be found in our page.
A little shout out to end this short post: CLEAN WATER FOR ALL!

FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT WATER
Well, everyone knows that there is no life without water. That's probably one of the main reasons we started our fundraising project for Adele's birthday project. But did you all know just how much water is important?
60% of our total body weight is made of water.
By the time a person feels thirtsty, the body had already lost 1% of the total water amount.
A decrease of only 2% of that total of 60%, can cause short term memory loss, it will be harder to solve math problems or to concentrate in general. A chronic lack of water can cause much greater health problems.
The daily recomended amount of water to drink is between 8-10 cups of water
There are more than 3,000 brands of bottled mineral water worldwide.
Water are odorless, tasteless and colorless. The ocean is blue as a reflection of the sky (well, the atmosphere to be exact).
The total amount of water on earth is about 326 million cubic miles of water.
About 75% of the earth is made of water. But 97% are salted water, not suitable for drinking, which means we are left with only 3% of which we can drink.
884 million people don't have access to clean water. about one of eight people.
3.575 million people die each year from water realted disease.
A five minute shower takes more water that a person in a developing country uses A DAY.
Providing clean water supply for one person, costs only one £ (about 1.5$).
There are millions of people who still don't have access to clean water, and for them each drop is a struggle. Drop4drop is building wells of clean water for those people, to help them live a little bit better.
Just see the difference they are making:
