The River to Well Photo Competition uses 100% of the submission fees collected to build wells for villages that have no alternative for unsafe water and sanitation. Our goal is to aid those facing the world water crisis, which affects over 1 billion people around the planet.
We have decided to continue our fight for clean water in KwaDick, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Together we can unite those in our community using our resources, talents and passion for the arts to raise funds and awareness.
