YOU can make a difference!
As Canadians, we simply have to walk a few steps
to the nearest water tap. However, women and children of many African
communities need to walk miles every day to fill pails with water that is
usually not even potable.
The cost to dig a single well varies depending on the terrain and depth
of the water source.
The following costs include materials and labor but do not always include
transportation, hygiene education, etc. Because of its mountainous terrain,
a well in Ethiopia costs approximately $9000 - $15000 while a well in Malawi
costs approximately $6000 and a well in Uganda costs a little over $2000.
How can YOU help? Whether you are a small or large business;
a school group, organization, club, or team;
a family or even an individual, there are many ways!
COMPANIES, SMALL OR LARGE BUSINESS
To raise funds for the Ryan's Well Foundation, Cindy and Trent are selling
advertising opportunities that will be seen by thousands of people all around
Canada. Because a majority of the Cycling for WELLnesS Tour will go through
notable Canadian towns and cities, the two riders will receive attention from
citizens, tourists and media. By sporting your company logo on jerseys, helmets
and trailers, the riders will become your travelling billboard.
All sponsors will also get recognition through links on our web site (please
visit our Sponsors Page to check out who
has already made a generous donation!). With your sponsorship, not only will
your company be supporting a great humanitarian cause, but you will also show
our nation and Africa how much YOU care.
If you have any questions or comments, please email us at

Did you hear about the Westlock

INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES
It's amazing what ONE person can do! Look at what
Ryan has accomplished so far
even at such a young age. If you don't want to do it alone, you
can influence people to join you in trying to make a difference.
It doesn't matter how big or small your contribution is, everything
helps to make this project a reality. How about you donate a quarter
for every time you are thirsty in a week? This will make you
understand the importance of potable water and help many who don't
have that luxury!
Let us know if you have a great idea on how YOU can make a difference.
We can be reached at
tandemwater@care2.com and would love to hear about it!
