The African continent is currently experiencing a massive lack of clean drinking water known as the world water crisis. In addition to dehydration, many Africans suffer from malnutrition and disease. Food supplies and temporary medical care do not offer permanent cures for this crises. A Spring of Hope has chosen water as our mission because it allows for self-sustainability. Our wells are constructed in schools where the greatest number of children can use the water. The presence of water in a school in an impoverished area is inviting to students and can lead to a more hopeful and happier learning environment. Not only do our wells offer clean drinking water from deep within the earth, but the water is used for cleaning, to prevent the spread of illnesses. With their source of water, schools grow gardens, which provide food for the students and faculty. The surplus food is sold so schools can buy necessary supplies. We say, "Just Add Water," because we know that with it, one can stay healthy, strong, and independent.

100% of proceeds benefit disadvantaged African students.

"One thing a visitor to Africa may notice about its people is their spiritual wealth. Africa is constantly bombarded with struggles related to war, social strife, poverty, and economic instability. However, Africa's population possesses a happiness and positive outlook towards life most peoples of other continents could never understand. I can only imagine what Africa could accomplish if it was not enduring those hardships. With such exuberant and resilient people, how successful could this continent become if it obtained the help it so desperately needs?

In today's rapidly transforming technological world, distant countries are becoming next-door neighbors. The world is becoming less of a system of divided countries, and more of a unified planet. With this in mind, I feel that it is my responsibility as a human being to utilize every advantage I have to assist those who are less fortunate...whether they be within my country, or on the other side of the world. Africa's children are Africa's future. Education is the gateway out of poverty, and if I can help even one child in Africa succeed and make a difference, then I feel I have lived up to my purpose."
