Personal Success Stories

Clean water may sound simple. It is taken for granted in many parts of the world. But its impact is profound. It saves lives. It allows women to work or care for children. It allows children to go to school. It allows economies to grow, communities to strengthen, and populations to stabilize.

Below are five examples of how Blue Planet Run funded projects have impacted the lives of individuals around the world.

	Bintu Kamara Myla Village, Sierra Leone "Our health is much better now and we have more energy and time for school work."
	Sandra Masiguito Village, Nicaragua "Thanks to you, I am now able to go to school and educate myself."
	Bishnupada Kanjilal West Bengal, India "We do not get any stomach problems, such as wind, any more."
	Rhoda Chiputu Chamasowa Village, Malawi "Clean water is now near me."
	Cecilio Laura y Gregoria Choque Kerani, Province of Los Andes, Bolivia "Before the tapstand next to my house ... we had to get up at 4am to get water because later than that there would be no more water left in the well."
	Moussa Samake Dialakoroba, Mali "I like my job very much. I am getting a salary and I am from this village – there is nothing better than helping your own people."
