Water is a necessity for each of us, but for too many it is difficult to access and potentially fatal. 1,800 children die daily from water related illness. For even one life lost - a reality we have come to know all to well since day one - this is not ok.

There is something we can do. When each of us finds a way to give, a well is drilled in a community in Sierra Leone by all local, trained staff. Our community efforts combined help provide daily clean water.

When you choose to give, you empower our Sierra Leonean well-maintenance team to partner with each village where a Hope Rising Together well exists. This ensures the sustainable flow of clean water daily, empowered by local people.

In Sierra Leone the cycle of poverty leaves children most vulnerable. Malnutrition, lack of clean water, abuse, hard labor, and difficult living conditions plague young lives with little opportunity for school or hope for a better future without a break in the cycle.

There is something we can do. Our national team steps in to assess a vulnerable child’s need/situation. Based on this, a child is placed in full time care, housing for vulnerable girls, and/or in our school, hope rising academy (nursery through high school).

When you sponsor a child or staff member you provide healthcare, daily nutrition, education (at our school Hope Rising Academy), access to clean water, and encouragement with regular connection! The cycle of poverty is broken and paves the way for future change.
