WAY-FM’s The Wally Show held a campaign where listeners pledged support to Blood: Water Mission for 27 new water wells to be built near schools in Africa. The funding will also provide sanitation (bathrooms) to help ensure the children stay healthier throughout the year.
“We worked with Wally and set out with an enormous goal of 20 schools with safe water and improved sanitation,” says Aaron Sands, Blood: Water Interim Executive Director. “He and the team took this seriously and traveled to Africa to meet people who represent the impact of this work. They speak from experience and know the names of people, not just the numbers and stats. They have seen the fuller picture of health impact in a community, which includes access to safe water as well as hygiene training and latrines. This is our fifth year partnering with WAY-FM, Wally, and their listeners, and once again they surpassed the goal and enabled even greater impact to be possible. We are so grateful.”
