The African Well Fund is launching its sixth annual Bono’s Birthday Well fundraiser on March 17th. Called “Walk to the Water… Walk with Me,” the fundraiser aims to raise money in honor of Bono’s May 10th birthday. Details of the project funded by this year’s donations will be announced shortly.
Last year, over $34,000 was raised during the Bono’s Birthday Well drive. Those funds were used toward projects at several schools in Uganda implemented in partnership with Invisible Children and Africare. These projects are currently underway.
To donate to Bono’s Birthday Well, visit our fundraiser page. A virtual birthday card will be available for donors to send their wishes to Bono. The card will be sent to Bono via Principle Management. Donations will be accepted March 17th through May 10th.
