After years of travel to very poor countries, I started the 10,000 Homes Project. It is not as successful as I had hoped but we are moving forward and that is what really counts. Our mission: to help 10,000 students lead their homeroom classmates in a project to raise the funds needed to provide clean, safe drinking water to 10,000 homes in improvised villages around the world.
Our goal: $1,000,000
(10,000 homerooms X $100 donation = $1,000,000)
This project starts with one student.
A student makes a personal commitment to raise just $100 to provide clean drinking water to a home in an impoverished village. So the student will:
1-organize a fundraising event in his/her homeroom to raise just $100.
2-join the Facebook group “10,000 Homes Project” and encourage everyone in the homeroom to do the same.
3-convince two students/friends from other homerooms or other schools to make this same commitment to raise funds for clean water.
