Funds in Water

This fund has been created to help organize efforts within Cisco to respond to the current state of emergency in Jackson, MS! If you would like to help we would love to create a combined effort of support!

Heavy rains leading to the flooding of the Pearl River has resulted in the flooding of the O.B. Curtis Water Plant in Jackson, Mississippi. As a result, the water in Jackson and surrounding communities is now considered unsafe for consumption, leaving nearly 200,000 residents without drinking water. Additionally, damage to the water treatment plant has decreased water pressure significantly, leaving many residents without the ability to prepare meals, take showers and flush toilets. The following organizations are accepting monetary donations to aid in purchasing, transporting and distributing drinking water; implementing mobile shower and hygiene units; and ensuring those impacted are able to access additional resources as needed.

World Oceans Day, recognized annually on June 8, was established by the United Nations to both celebrate the beauty and mystery of the ocean, as well as to promote public interest in protecting, preserving, and sustainably managing its resources. The ocean covers 70% of the planet and produces at least half of the available oxygen; it is home to the vast majority of earth’s biodiversity, is a major source of food for billions around the world, and is a key driver of global economies. However, 90% of big fish populations are depleted, more than 50% of coral reefs are destroyed, and we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives working to protect our oceans and the life within them. Join us is supporting organizations that help significantly reduce marine pollution, protect marine and coastal ecosystems, and work towards the conservation and sustainable use of the sea. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.

About Project Oasis is helping farmers in India by making water supply available throughout the year. Agriculture and drinking water are made available through means of rainwater harvesting which is achieved by building check dams. The project has already completed construction for 18 dams providing water to more than 22 villages. These check dams have transformed the lives of more than 20,000 villagers and farmers. These check dams have triggered the reverse migration. For more information please visit - projectoasis.iahv.org In the year 2022, we intend to build 10 more check dams. Funds raised through this campaign will be used to build new check dams for transforming the lives of more than 10,000 villagers and farmers. Project Oasis team visited several villages and met farmers who were benefitted by check dams. Amazing stories of these farmers are captured here - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=ProjectOasisIndia&set=a.2476937272408135 Our past check dams - Jaipal ChekDam, Village : Dadhikar, Tehsil : Sadar, District : Alwar - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=ProjectOasisIndia&set=a.2742566605845199 Radha CheckDam, Village : Shyampura, Tehsil : Thanagazi, District : Alwar - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=ProjectOasisIndia&set=a.2742587329176460

Help bring back life to people at Boraie village, Rajasthan, India by supporting this project. Water scarcity has taken a huge toll on villages. In absence of water people face hardships. Many women walk miles daily to fetch water for daily use. Many farmers struggle with farming. Families are forced to pick up alternative livelihoods in nearby cities. Villages are abandoned. Boraie is such a village. Project Oasis is focused on developing self-sustained water resources for water desperate villages in India. By identifying strategic locations with scientific research and local expertise, check dams are built for the villages to ensure year-round availability of water sourced by rainwater harvesting techniques. Reviving Boraie is part of Project Oasis. Boraie is evaluated as a high impact site, where by building a checked dam farmers can have access to water supply throughout the year. A checked dam harvests/preserves rainwater during monsoon, then let it flow away. This collected water goes underground replenishing all wells in the area. In good monsoon the dam will hold 4,03,571 cft = 1,13,00,000 crore litres of water. Each village is unique. At Boraie the planned checked dam is named Aatamni Khalli . This campaign targets funding of $6000 for the purpose of this dam. With checked dam built, following impact is expected at Boraie: --145 families, totaling 1160 people will get access to water throughout the year. --320 migrant/displaced workers will reverse migrate to the village to pick up farming again. --529 Acres of new irrigable land will be generated. --290 new employment opportunities will be generated.

Project Oasis is helping farmers in India by making water supply available throughout the year. Agriculture and drinking water are made available through means of rainwater harvesting which is achieved by building check dams. The project has already completed construction for 8 dams providing water to more than 12 villages. These check dams have transformed the lives of more than 10,000 villagers and farmers. These check dams have triggered the reverse migration. For more information please visit - projectoasis.iahv.org In the year 2021, we intend to build 20 more check dams.

THE CHALLENGE: Sierra Leone is currently off track on meeting the target of halving the percentage of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. Only 57% of the country's population have access to safe drinking water. 30% of all schools are without running water and 14% of all under 5 child deaths are due to diarrhea and other water related illnesses. Women and girls are particularly affected spending time and energy on water collection on daily basis. OUR SOLUTION AID, through its EMAS Technology adopted a low-cost self water supply concept, providing technical WASH facility implementation as well as training for local WASH technicians. The promoted low-cost Water Self-Supply technologies in Sierra Leone include a wide range of low-cost options such as hand drilled wells, rain water harvesting systems, household water. The presented water self-supply approach follows a do-it-yourself and an added value principal. LONG-TERM IMPACT: AID, through the use of Emmas Technology has been able to construct over 800 wells in various communities in rural areas in Sierra Leone. With the great impacts our intervention is making in addressing the growing water concerns of poor people, we are committed to reaching more communities as clearly articulated in our 2020 vision to reach up to 2,000 communities. AID is also very determined to also implement the Emmas Technological approach to other parts of Africa.

Objetivo: US$4,250 Atiende a 25 alumnos de preescolar a tercero y a 17 niños entre 0 y 5 años sin servicios de agua, saneamiento e higiene. ¿Qué queremos hacer? Con el apoyo de Cisco Colombia queremos asegurar que los niños y niñas tengan acceso a los servicios más básicos que les permita tener un espacio donde estudiar y ser cuidados que sea seguro y digno. Para esto nos proponemos:  Conectar la escuela y al jardín infantil comunitario al servicio de agua e instalar filtros para asegurar su calidad  Construir baños adecuados al contexto  Rehabilitar la cocina y comedor para que los niños y niñas consuman alimentos preparados con mejor higiene  Implementamos una campaña de higiene basada en juegos y diversión para adoptar buenos hábitos como el lavado de manos, la higiene personal, el uso del baño y el cuidado del agua. ¿Cuál es la meta? Recaudar en total $30.000.000 COP para el mejoramiento de los servicios e implementación de la campaña en Santa Cruz. Para cumplir este objetivo solicitamos la donación de US$4,250 entre Diciembre de 2019 y Febrero 2020 por parte de los empleados de Cisco que a través del Programa matching Gifts nos permitirá alcanzar la meta propuesta. Al finalizar el proceso (segundo trimestre de 2020) invitamos al equipo de Cisco Colombia a una visita a la Escuela de Santa Cruz para apoyar a WaterAid a dar los toques finales para finalizar la intervención en la escuela! PROYECTO GUAJIRA 2020 School and Nursery Santa Cruz, La Guajira. Colombia. Goal: $4,250 WaterAid is determined to make clean water, reliable toilets and good hygiene available for boys and girls. Our Healthy Beginnings Campaign seeks to improve health and nutrition for over 750 boys and girls with the availability of clean safe water and proper hygiene. We need all the support from the Cisco team to help us reach our goal! With your help we will be supporting the school Santa Cruz, which serves over 42 Children, located in the La Guajira (Colombia’s most northerly region: a vast and wild desert on the Caribbean coast bordering Venezuela). Today there is no water directly being supplied to the school. The students and teachers have to carry water in buckets from a central location and they relieve themselves in the areas surrounding the community. This tough situation creates a health hazard while being a huge burden as well. The total cost of this project is $8,500 USD. The challenge for this campaign is to raise $4,250 USD between December 2019 and February 2020, while taking advantage of the Cisco match to achieve the ultimate goal of $8,500 USD. WaterAid will be supporting this project all along and this venture will conclude with an actual visit to the project in La Guajira, where we will engage with the community who is benefiting from this campaign. The kids in Santa Cruz and WaterAid thank you in advanced for your support!

Did you know that 844 million people across the globe don't have access to clean water? In May 2020 I’ll be traveling to Colombia with WaterAid, an international organization dedicated to bringing clean water, toilets and hygiene assistance to the poorest and most marginalized communities across the globe. After several days trekking to the ancient, Lost City of Tayrona, I’ll be visiting and volunteering with WaterAid in indigenous, Wayuu communities in La Guajira, Colombia. Please consider making a donation to my page today. Gifts made will directly support the communities in Colombia I’ll be working with on my trip. The Indigenous Wayúu live in dispersed rural and marginalized communities with very limited access to services, where only 16% has access to water and a mere 4% to basic sanitation. Currently, it is estimated that 60% of the Wayúu population suffer from malnutrition and roughly one indigenous child under 5 has died of causes linked to malnutrition every week over the past 2 years. WaterAid is working to change this, and with your help, I’ll be making a real difference in the lives of many on my trip with WaterAid.

The necessity of life that we need and yet we rarely think about it. Join us in supporting charity:water in bringing safe drinking water to people in developing countries!

Unsafe, dirty water causes sickness and death. It’s heartbreaking that women spend so much time collecting water that causes devastating diseases like dysentery, cholera, and typhoid. Diarrhea is the second most common cause of death among children under the age of five in India. The water they think is safe makes them sick, and has the potential to kill. Unsafe water is a major cause that keeps people in poverty. Women will spend several hours each day collecting water, walking barefoot for several miles across dirt roads to get water for their families. The water is not safe to drink, but it is often their only option. This is time that can be spent conducting business, growing food or caring for and teaching their children. When the children get sick, they must spend what little money they have to take the sick child to a doctor in town and buy medicine. One trip will usually cost several days wages. Unsafe water creates a vicious cycle, which causes sickness and keeps people entrenched in poverty. The clean water you provide through a water-well will last for an average of 10 years! You can make a life-changing difference and give people clean, safe drinking water. They will be able to give water to their children without making them sick. Each well we provide serves at least 150 families. • $53 provides safe water for one family • $106 provides safe water for two families

At Toolbox Genomics, we believe that water is a fundamental human need and essential for a healthy life.

Lets help ensure everyone around the globe has access to clean and safe drinking water.

A sunPower employee has been working with a group of friends on a really interesting project to help a community of 800+ people in rural Colombia with their access to water. They founded an organization called Acceso Solar. Their project will be installing a solar powered water pump for Las Piedras community so they can have cleaner, cheaper, and safer access to water. After 8 months of hard work, they are ready to launch their crowdfunding campaign and it will be amazing if you can support them now to build momentum and make a tangible difference for the community of Las Piedras.
