There's Still Time to Donate to Bono's Birthday Well!
The African Well Fund is accepting donations for its sixth annual Bono's Birthday Well fundraiser, "Walk to the Water … Walk with Me," through Saturday, May 10, Bono's 48th birthday. Donations can be made at http://www.africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2008.html.
Donors to the Bono's Birthday Well are invited to sign their names to an online birthday card that will be forwarded to Bono. Last year Bono sent a thank-you note to African Well Fund that can be viewed at the well homepage, http://www.africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2008.html. The well page also includes flyers, banners and avatars that can be uploaded or forwarded to spread the word on the fundraiser.
The first Bono's Birthday Well fundraiser was held in 2003 with the intent of collecting $1,000 to build one well in Bono's honor. That year, the African Well Fund collected more than $10,000. The second year, $15,000 was raised. More than $26,000 was collected for Bono's Birthday Well in 2005. Over $32,000 was collected in 2006.
Last year saw the largest Bono's Birthday Well total to date, with more than $34,000 collected. Those funds were used toward projects at several schools in Uganda implemented in partnership with Invisible Children and Africare. These projects are currently underway.
Tax-deductible donations to the African Well Fund are used by our partner organization Africare to fund various water projects in Africa. To date, African Well Fund donations have given more than 100,000 people in 10 African nations improved access to water.
