Over ten years ago, WatertoThrive set out to bring change and provide clean water to those who need it most. CTX Service-Learning has partnered with Water to Thrive since they first began, and as a campus community,
we have raised funds for the building a total of THIRTEEN wells! These wells are changing thousands of lives in rural Africa. Below are some highlights from some of our past well campaigns. Join us for our
latest campaign!

During the 2013-2014 academic year, we raised money to fund three new wells through
the Jubilee Well Campaign. Thank you to all of you who generously supported this campaign!

Students
This project is more than just emptying your pocket change into a jar. This project
is about students helping students. The children in Ethiopia are real people with
very real needs. By providing clean drinking water in their community, you are increasing
their health, making daily necessities more convenient, and allowing them to make
education more of a priority. Water To Thrive is about students helping students.

This is a terrific way to get involved and to give a gift that keeps on giving. The
gift of fresh drinking water is simple, yet life-changing! Stay connected to Concordia
University Texas by partnering with us to raise funds that will provide clean drinking

Faculty & Staff
By working at Concordia University Texas it is clear that you care about the well
being of students. Spending 40+ hours a week with college students is no easy task,
but you have also brought excellence to our campus. Water To Thrive offers an additional
way to serve students. This organization is more than just making a cash donation
or simply writing a check. By providing communities with clean water, you are allowing
children to spend more time in school and less time commuting for water. An average
Ethiopian child spends 5 hours each day collecting water. With your help, that child
could be spending 5 more hours a day in a classroom, increasing their education and
learning valuable skills.

2009 Sudi School
In 2009, the first $3500 raised by the Concordia community supported a hand dug well
for the Sudi primary school in Sudi, Ethiopia--a rural town of 2164 people and 1202
school-age children. These children are served by one school which formerly lacked
adequate sanitation or drinking water for the students. We also raised funds to buy
new desks and chairs for this school in the spring of 2011.
