Update from charity: water campaign
A few months ago I set up a fundraiser at my.charitywater.org to raise money to help fund a clean water project somewhere in the world where it's really needed. At the time, I said I'd give updates as I received them since several people donated anonymously.
The fundraiser ended this month and we raised $210! That's $10 over what the goal was!
THANK YOU to all the donors!!
It will be several months before we get any specifics, and at that time I will do another post. The email I received from the charity on June 18 at the official end of the campaign is as follows:
[Timeline of project]
SOON, 100% OF YOUR FUNDS WILL BE PUT TO WORK
Materials will be purchased, communities will be selected and trained, and the construction process will begin. Stay tuned, you'll get two progress reports emailed to you along the way.
YOUR PROJECT WILL TAKE 18 MONTHS TO COMPLETE
We send funds to our partners quarterly, so your money may take up to
three months to be sent to the field.
1-3 MONTHS
We send your money to the field.
3-6 MONTHS
Our partners get permits, supplies, pick
sites & begin the work.
6-9 MONTHS
Our partners collect midterm reports & send us the information.
9-12 MONTHS
Our partners finish the work & train the communities to manage their water point.
12-15 MONTHS
Our partners collect final photos, GPS & community information.
15-18 MONTHS
We receive completion reports, verify the data, assign your dollars to projects & send you your report.
