Global Village International Outreach Ministries Is Partnering With BLOOD:WATER MISSION PLEASE DONATE

Blood:Water Mission is a non-profit organization founded by the members of the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band, Jars of Clay, to address the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa.

Blood:Water Mission exists to promote clean blood and clean water efforts in Africa, tangibly reducing the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic while addressing the underlying issues of poverty, injustice and oppression. Blood:Water Mission is building clean water wells, supporting medical facilities, and focusing on community and worldview transformation, both here in America and in Africa.

We recognize that numbers and statistics are hard to grasp, and that sometimes a step back is necessary to conceptualize the enormity of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Yet we also know that simply standing from a distance with arms thrown in the air is not a solution. We believe in pressing inward, in building relationships and bridges with communities in Africa. We believe in hearing personal stories and walking alongside brothers and sisters who have demonstrated strength and faith in the midst of desperate and tragic situations.

We hold fast to the conviction that we are all responsible for being good stewards of our time, our resources and our compassion in a broken world.

Every person has something to give in return for what has been received.

Please join us on this journey.

Blood:Water Mission is calling individuals and organizations across the country to mobilize the people within their communities to donate one dollar each for Africa.

Jars of Clay and other artists will be raising funds for the 1000 Wells Project during their concerts. Elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities are organizing fundraising events for their schools to adopt a community in need of a well. Churches are setting up the Lenten season (for example) as a time of sacrifice to give up spending money on all beverages other than water and donating the saved funds to the 1000 Wells Project. Corporations are giving matching grants to the dollars raised during the campaign period.

The campaign's success will be based on the participation from thousands of individuals across the country who will go into their own communities to raise dollars for clean water in Africa. We need your help.
