WE HAVE OUR DATES FOR OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY WALKS!

EAST COAST WALK – LEESBURG, VA

WE ENGAGE YOUTH TO CARE FOR THE WORLD AROUND THEM
The youth are our future. Obvious, but true. We can encourage their voices to be heard, or we can ignore their voices. At Wisdom Spring we have spent years working directly with teens on the East and West Coasts, encouraging leadership and skill building. We listen to their voices and their inspiration. There is much we need to hear and learn from this important group.



YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Help us build wells. Help us pay for tuition.
Make a CHOICE. Take ACTION. Create CHANGE.
What people often don’t realize is how something small can create a huge impact. Over the years we see the direct result of the donations given by individuals and organizations.
We see it in the 1,000’s of children whose covered tuition costs mean they can continue to learn and progress in school. We see it in the young girls not walking miles to fetch water —but yards — thanks to the wells built through donations from you.
We also see it in the teenagers we collaborate with, who learn how to bring their gifts forward and discover that they are leaders in their community.
This is real impact, not some abstract idea of people far away. We work hard to assure that each dollar designated for a project goes to that project and makes a difference. We take time to confirm that what we say we support is actually supported.
And we have much more work to do.
“Sometimes the water table would be so low that there would be no water. So the men would go down and dig up the mud and pass it to the women, who would take it and press out whatever water they could. Then they put ash on the top. The ash separates the mud from the water as it settled to the bottom so we would have something to drink. And when I saw the animals, the trees, and the people die…I used to wonder if there was any end to this.”
These are a couple of photos of a well that Walking for Water was able to put into a village in India. In addition to the well, Walking for Water has greatly improved the village preschool. These schoolchildren now have access to water and education that was previously unavailable. This is all thanks to the teen activists of Walking for Water and those that support and donate. To help us make a difference, go to wisdomspring.org to donate and attend our annual fundraising walk on March 26, at Laguna Beach High School.
Opportunities for women’s education is threatened due to a lack of proper water sanitization. The lack of proper water means that women are forced to walk for water, instead of learning proper subjects in school. Walking for Water is hosting an annual walk to raise money for wells to be built. Join us March 26th!
Writing workshop this Saturday with Robin Pierson and Denny Freidenrich! We were able to learn new writing techniques and marketing skills. Building up to our Walking for Water’s annual fundraising walk on March 26th. #walkingforwater #wisdomspring #sobonfusomé #dennyfreidenrich #livingyourgifts #teenactivist #lbhsschool

WHERE WE WORK
Over the years we have worked in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, and India. We are always exploring opportunities both overseas and in the United States. Part of this is finding strong and reliable partners to share the work with, since it takes many people to make a project happen. LEARN MORE.
Our Top Priorities
We commit every day to making long lasting change for the world around us. We do this through several key areas of focus that make up part of our core mission.
YOUTH
Our projects have the success they do because we engage high school age students in leadership roles. They bring a focus and passion that inspires others to contribute and get involved. They are the future of this work.
EDUCATION
Knowledge is power. In parts of the world, covering the cost of school tuition poses a huge challenge for families. As a result access to education and higher learning becomes impossible. We commit to bridge that gap.
WATER
Water is life. We take for granted every day that we can simply turn on a tap and fill a glass or a pot with water. However this is not the experience of everyone in the world. We strive to improve that reality.
