A message from AWF board member Devlin:
For the past six years, I've been so proud to serve as a board member for the African Well Fund. This is a momentous year for AWF, not only is the organization celebrating its 10th anniversary, AWF recently surpassed the $1 million mark for total funds raised, money that has been used to fund more than 300 projects in 14 countries that are benefiting over 335,000 people.
Even though AWF is a completely volunteer-run, grassroots organization, it still has expenses. The money needed to pay for things like the AfricanWellFund.org website, printing, shipping and taxes comes from a designated Admin Fund. No money donated for well projects is used for these expenses.
For my birthday this year, I've made a wish asking my family and friends to make donations to the AWF Admin Fund so the organization can afford to make the investments necessary to continue its mission of funding clean water and sanitation projects in sub-Saharan Africa, ensuring that every person on the continent can enjoy their basic human right of having access to clean, safe water.
If you would like more information on the types of expenditures paid for out of the Admin Fund, please check out AWF's 2010 Annual Report.
