HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR WATER WHILE I'M IN THE WATER!

Hersh Goldberg-Polin Benefitting Innovation Africa

My Bar Mitzva Torah portion is Noach. So I wanted to use the theme of water to do something to help people in the world who don't have clean water everyday. Read the short description about my campaign below to get the real scoop...

About the Campaign

Hi, I'm Hersh.

My Bar Mitzva Parsha is Noach.  In the Parsha, water is used as a destructive force
that causes a mighty flood, and destroys the world.  For my Bar Mitzva, I wanted to do something
using water as a constructive force, that would help repair our world.

I decided to start swimming (get it?  Using WATER) and asking people to sponsor me for every kilometer that I swam.

Hey, did you know 1.1 BILLION (that's a lot of zeros!) people in our world don't have access to clean drinking water?! 

Well, my parents and I found this amazing organization which brings Israeli sustainable water technologies to people in Africa.
For example, they bring water pumping systems that provide 20,000 liters of clean water each day, which is enough water for an entire village!  That's a lot of water!

The organization is called Innovation: Africa.  Unlike a lot of other organizations we researched, IA  gives 100% of individual donations directly to the projects in Africa.

Please consider sponsoring me per kilometer that I swim (i'm already up to 50 kilometers! ). Or please consider making a regular donation.

Let's all try to help be part of the solution...one drop at a time.

If you need me, I'll be in the pool,
Hersh
