Description
We created Gumbo for Good, Inc. in order to bring clean, sustainable drinking water and supplies to needy third-world countries. Across the globe, 884 million people (Approx. 1 in 8) lack access to safe drinking water supplies. 3.575 million people die each year due to water-related diseases; of these deaths, 84% are children ages 0 – 14. With your help, we can gather our resources to help install clean water wells and bring supplies to these very needy people. This will help give every person a fighting chance not only to survive, but to succeed in this world.
"Teaching the World to Help Ourselves"- Our focus is not only to aid those in need, but also to teach them to help others. By having them assist with the installation of the water wells, they learn how to access clean water. We require them, in turn, to help others in need. Armed with their new-found knowledge and donated supplies, they are required to assist with the installation of these wells in neighboring villages.
