Yes it’s that time again! The African Well Fund is excited to announce plans for this year’s fundraiser. We will be collecting donations in honor of Bono’s May 10th birthday from March 22nd through May 6th.
Previous donations have totaled more than $50,000 and have funded clean water projects in Uganda, Ethiopia and Angola, bringing the gift of clean water to thousands. This year the donations will be used to fund a project in Zimbabwe. New wells will be constructed and old wells will be rehabilitated at the cost of $500 to $1500 a site – this relatively inexpensive cost per site gives us the opportunity to fund a significant amount of wells in Bono’s honor. How many is up to you!
This year’s fundraiser also includes a special t-shirt, the winner of our DESIGN4 : BBW4 contest, to be sold for a limited time at http://www.cafepress.com/wellfund
Additionally, beginning April 17th an Ebay auction entitled PHOTOS4 // BBW4 will feature U2 concert photos donated by some very talented fans. All proceeds from both ventures will benefit the birthday fundraiser.
For more details about the fundraiser, please visit http://africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2006.html
After donating, don’t forget to sign the online card and leave your birthday message for Bono!
