From May 1st to May 31st the African Well Fund invites U2 fans and others who are inspired by Bono’s tireless activism on behalf of Africa to donate to the 17th Annual Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday fundraiser in honor of Bono’s 59th birthday.
The 16 previous campaigns have raised over $265,000 in Bono’s honor to fund the construction of clean water and sanitation projects implemented by AWF partner Africare that are benefiting more than 73,000 people in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Mali, Uganda and Zimbabwe. This year, we aim to celebrate 15 years of fundraising by raising $15,000!
As with last year’s fundraiser, we will be holding a 24-hour Tweet-a-Thon on May 10th. Stay tuned for details! If you would like to help with this or any other aspect of the fundraiser please contact Diane Yoder at dyoder@africanwellfund.org.
Thank you for creating a humanitarian effort by U2 fans to honor Bono and U2. K
‘Sorry I’m so late with this, I just put a donation in the mail- I know it’s too late for Bono’s birthday but please use it towards your most needy project. Thank you so much for your generous spirit and dedication to this worthy cause, I’m sure it is much appreciated in Africa
