High School Ministry Launched Mission Project

More than 300 million people in Africa do not have clean drinking water. Each year 1 million children die from water-born diseases. Mothers walk from 7 to 10 miles each day to collect water for their families, and often, this very water is killing their children.

For this reason the students at Cascade Hills raised money to help fund water relief in Kenya. They sold bottled water at their schools, at church, and around the community and 100% of the profit made from each bottle sold went exclusively towards providing clean drinking water to a community in Kenya.

One “water project” costs $3,300. The high school students set a goal of raising enough money for one water project. Students sold water all around the community: at school, in the neighborhoods, to their friends, even at the Arthritis Walk held at Hughston Clinic in October 2007.

The students raised $10,526.00- Enough for 3 Water Projects!!
