Showering hope and health

After hearing about the need for clean safe water, four U.S. Teenagers banded together to raise $15,000 for a well in the village of Nueva Esperanza (New Hope) in Guatemala. Thinking it would take months to raise that kind of money. They used their voice, visited businesses for donations, and hosted an outdoor movie night to raise $7,500. In addition, a generous donor matched the funds. In a little over a week, they raised the $15,000 needed for the well.

As a result, an entire community was given clean water resulting in immediately better overall population health, more time to invest in life-enriching activities, and hope.
