At The Adventure Project, you help moms, like Linda, breathe easier.

Did you know that clean cookstoves are one of the most underrated ways to fight climate change?

Each stove drastically reduces black carbon emissions.

Making the swap from an open fire to a locally made clean cookstove saves one ton of carbon per year.

In honor of Earth Day, we’d love to invite you to join us in a fireside chat about our clean cookstoves program.

We'll be joined by Charlot Magayi, Founder and CEO of Mukuru Clean Cookstoves. She'll share her growth plan of producing 500K clean cookstoves this year!

When you give to The Adventure Project, you’re supporting women like Simpli 🩷

Simpli spends her days traveling to neighboring communities in Ghana.

At each stop, she provides women essential tools to manage their water kiosk businesses.

Get to know Simpli and learn how you can continue supporting her work of bringing clean water to Ghana: https://bit.ly/3PPOyH0

03/23/2024

Friends… thanks to your incredible outpouring of support, we are closing in on our $50,000 fundraising goal!
We’d love your help as we enter the final stretch.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our goal. Whether it’s the price of your morning latte or a round of drinks, your gift will help change the lives of 1,120 people in Ghana.

Will you help us reach our target? Your support means jobs for 15 women and clean water for five communities—for good.
We’re still matching every donation that comes through the door, so give now to double your impact: https://www.theadventureproject.org/give-a-drink

03/22/2024

It’s World Water Day, and too many people still don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water.

In rural Ghana, for example, women trek to nearby water sources to haul the only water that's available. Unfortunately, it’s filled with harmful bacteria that makes their families sick.

But here’s where you can make a life-changing difference:

By making a simple gift of drink—the money you’d spend on a latte, glass of wine, or round of drinks—you will create jobs for women to lead their communities out of Ghana’s water crisis.

Jobs for 15 women ➡️ clean drinking water for 5 communities ➡️ health and hope for 10 years

That’s the difference you’ll make with one simple act of generosity.
Make your gift today, and we’ll match it! ✨

Donate now for 2x the impact: https://www.theadventureproject.org/give-a-drink

03/22/2024

World Water Day is just hours away.

And with your support, 15 women will soon get new jobs, bringing clean water to 1,120 people in Ghana.

A donation to The Adventure Project’s World Water Day campaign is an investment in a sustainable and cost-effective solution to the water crisis.

Your generosity can train women to open and operate water treatment businesses, using locally available materials.

But that’s not all. With your help, we’ll also hire local customer care teams to ensure water businesses keep working and communities will have clean water for years to come.

We’d love for you to join our campaign tomorrow.

Want a sneak peek? Check out: https://www.theadventureproject.org/give-a-drink

All gifts will be matched (even the early ones!), so can double your impact.

03/21/2024

At The Adventure Project, we believe that access to clean water is a fundamental human right.

That’s why we’ve set the ambitious goal of raising $50,000 tomorrow–World Water Day–to create jobs that help women lead their communities out of Ghana’s water crisis.

With your generosity, we will:

⭐ Create jobs for 15 women as water kiosk entrepreneurs
🚰 Provide clean water for five communities in Ghana
💙 Change lives for the next decade

And there’s more good news: every dollar will be matched, which means your gift will make double the impact.

Will you join us tomorrow?

03/20/2024

Women know the weight of dirty water.

They collect it, haul it, and bear the burden of watching their children get sick from it.

In Ghana, water-related disease is the leading cause of death in children.

You're also here because you believe women deserve to be part of the solution. Empowered. Uplifted. Fueled by purpose. Women deserve to lead.

That’s why we’re teaming up with to create opportunities for 15 women to start their own water businesses, empowering them to take the lead and bring clean water to 1,120 neighbors across five communities in Ghana.

But we can’t do this alone. We need your help!

Mark your calendars for this Friday, March 22, and join us in the fight to get these five communities access to the clean water they deserve.

Every gift we receive will be matched! Can we count on your support?

How does your support provide clean water in Ghana (without drilling wells?!).

So many orgs love to drill wells (it's fun!). But in Northern Ghana, the water table is low (deep) so drilling is expensive. And hand pumps break down all the time. It's easier to maintain these water kiosks that treat water. Here's what the process looks like:

1. Women gather water from the river and pour it into three drums.

2. Water is then treated with alum to kill germs and reduce turbidity. Water sits for 12 hours while the alum kills germs and the dirt settles to the bottom.

3. After 12 hours, water is scooped from the three drums and poured over a sieve and into the tank. As a final step, they add 3 Aquatabs (chlorine tablets). Most bacteria was removed with the alum, but the chlorine ensures water is 100% e-coli free. 30 minutes later, the tap can start flowing again.

Alum and Aquatabs are both available in the local market. The founder of Saha Global leveraged her MIT degree to design this low-cost, appropriate, and effective water treatment system.

Thanks to your generosity, more communities are gaining the gift of clean water this year.
