Do you want to have a life-saving -- and lasting -- impact in the developing world? Then pay part or all of the $5,500 cost of drilling a well in Africa or Haiti. You will be providing safe and consistent drinking water to hundreds of children and adults.

A local well will eliminate the need for girls and women to miss school or income-earning opportunities while walking long distances each day to fetch water for their families -- water from ponds or creeks that's often contaminated with potentially deadly diarrheal diseases.

When you help people through Lifewater, you work with a charity that Charity Intelligence (which tracks more than 800 non-profit organizations) has ranked among the top 10 in Canada for SIX straight years for the impact achieved for donors. More than 90 cents of each dollar given to Lifewater goes directly to the people you want to help.

Clicking on GIVE NOW will take you to the highly secure CanadaHelps website to make your donation.
