Today’s featured member from our Well Mechanics Club is Cassie Burback, a passionate mom who raised $1,205 for clean water in India.

How did she do it?
Cassie leveraged social media such as her Facebook and Twitter, along with her blog. Her passion showed through her writing and advocating, inspiring her networks and community to rally behind the cause as well.

What were the results?
She raised over $1,000 — enough to hire two mechanics and provide clean water for over 10,000 people in rural India!

Why do we love this?
Cassie told us that her favorite part was “seeing unexpected donations come in from old friends and being able to connect again.” Not only did she raise money for clean water, but she also inspired and brought together people within her immediate community and outside of it. Awesome.

We’d like to introduce you to Ashley Nielsen, today’s featured member of our Well Mechanics Club.

What did she do?
Ashley was the lead organizer for a benefit concert in Olympia, WA, which featured a local bands in a favorite local venue. The proceeds of the concert went to The Adventure Project and our water initiative, helping to hire and train local leaders to become well mechanics and provide clean water for thousands of people throughout India.

What were the results?
A lot of happy music lovers, and enough tickets sold to help fund 3 well mechanics in India ($1,600)! That equates to consistently flowing clean water for approximately 15,000 people.

Why do we love this fundraiser idea?
Ashley tapped into her local community, engaging them with what’s familiar — a local band that everyone loves at a local venue that everyone frequents. At The Adventure Project, we’re all about local engagement to solve global issues, whether it’s on the ground in rural India training community leaders or activating our next door neighbors to strum guitars and raise funds.

Huge thanks to Ashley and everyone involved with the benefit concert in Olympia, WA!

To continue to give and help support the flow of clean water, donate here today. And to learn more about The Adventure Project and sustainable solutions to global problems, visit www.theadventureproject.org.

Attention Tumblr friends: We need your Tumblr.


 

If you have an awesome Tumblr or blog and want to make a really big impact in a really simple way, you need to read the rest of this post.

World Water Day is in less than 9 days. On March 22nd, a global network of bloggers are joining together for 24 hours to raise a lot of noise around the need for clean water — but not just clean water; sustainable access of clean water.

We’re going to make a ruckus and raise funds to provide rural communities in India with this kind of access. For every dollar raised through our movement, The Prem Rawat Foundation will match it, up to $25,000. We have the potential to help hire nearly 90 mechanics who will go on to serve over 450,000 people with sustainable water services.

Interested in joining the movement? Here’s what you can do:

For us to raise $25,000 in 24 hours, we’re enlisting 250 people to reach out to their circles through blog posts, tweets, Facebook statuses, pins, and any other creative online ways to tell them about World Water Day. If each person can raise $100 on March 22nd, we’ll raise $50,000 in a single day.

90 mechanics. 450 wells. Over 450,000 people. Amazing, right?

Join us today by signing up (takes one minute, we promise). Our interns will customize a page just for you (they’re fantastic like that) and will email you all the details. And you don’t need to be a blogger to join, you just have to be willing and ready to spread the word and join our adventure on March 22nd.

Calling all bloggers: Join us on World Water Day


 

We have a chance to provide clean water to over 450,000 people living in rural India. But we need your help.

On World Water Day (March 22nd), every dollar (up to $25,000) will be matched by The Prem Rawat Foundation. We have the potential to help hire nearly 90 mechanics who will go on to serve those 450,000 people with sustainable water services.

The Prem Rawat Foundation graciously matched every dollar we raised last year from our first 24 hour blog-a-thon on World Water Day 2011. This year, the rules are the same, but the stakes are higher.

Join us today by signing up (takes one minute, we promise). Our interns will customize a page just for you (they’re fantastic like that) and will email you all the details. And you don’t need to be a blogger to join, you just have to be willing and ready to spread the word on March 22nd.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The Details:
For us to raise $25,000 in 24 hours, we’re going to need a lot of bloggers, and a lot of buzz. So this is our strategy; from now until the 22nd, our goal is to enlist 250 people to join us in creating an online ruckus. If each person can raise $100 bucks on World Water Day, we’ll raise $50,000 in a single day. Sounds simple, right?

So join us today and be part of our adventure!

Stoves For Haiti - We did it! Thanks, everyone!

We just want to say thank you so much to our supporters in the #StovesForHaiti campaign, which was launched on January 12th to remember Haiti.

We officially ended the campaign this past week (even though donations are still rolling in!), and are excited to say that on our last day, January 31st, we broke our $20,000 goal!

Many, many thanks to all of you who spread the word, raised funds, and sponsored a stove yourself. We could not have done it without your efforts. Thank you for supporting The Adventure Project, and even more thanks for bringing over 1,000 families these revolutionary cookstoves.

And if you’re still interested in giving or having your community give, feel free to do so through the campaign page or through our website at TheAdventureProject.org.
