My Nonprofit Reviews

I count it a privilege and an honor to have met Steve Roese and Bishop Elias Taban, co-founders of Water is Basic. The picture you see is an oil painting of Bishop Taban affixed to a jerry can – what the women carry on their heads to fetch water. It’s big and heavy even empty! How do they do that? I bought my jerry can at a WIB fundraiser a few years ago and it now sits right inside the front door of our home. My husband and I are retired on a fixed income, but we always have change in our pockets. The jerry can is the perfect place to collect not only our change, but many times that of a guest or even a grandchild. The last time we counted the change, it came to $85 and the jerry wasn’t even half full! We had to empty it because we could hardly lift it! Now, that may not sound like a lot to many people, but think what it can do in Africa! That’s almost 6 Sawyer Filters! Just from change! Thank you WIB and God bless you for all you do for our brothers and sisters in Africa! And thank you for the opportunity to feel like a part of your team! Good job!!
