Because We Can, We Must

For the tenth year in a row, the African Well Fund is pleased to announce plans for a fundraising drive to "Build a Well for Bono's Birthday". AWF is celebrating a "Decade of H2OPE" by raising funds to benefit a water, sanitation and hygiene project in Burkina Faso that will be implemented by AWF partner Africare and aims to create a healthy environment for 257 schoolchildren.

From March 22nd through May 10th, the African Well Fund invites U2 fans and others who are inspired by Bono's tireless activism on behalf of Africa to make a donation in honor of Bono's 52nd birthday.
