Use GoodSearch to Benefit AWF!

African Well Fund is one of the charities participating in GoodSearch, a new Internet search engine that donates half of the advertising revenue it earns to charity. Each time you use GoodSearch and designate African Well Fund as your charity of choice, GoodSearch will donate a portion of the advertising revenue earned from the search to the African Well Fund.

It’s easy to use. Just go to the GoodSearch homepage www.goodsearch.com and specify African Well Fund as your designated charity, click verify and scroll through the list of charities to select AWF. After the first time, each time you return to the home page, African Well Fund will appear as your designated charity. There is even a button you can click to see the number of searches and the amount raised.

Add GoodSearch to your bookmarks or make it your homepage to make it easier to use. Also, spread the word to your family and friends to help generate more contributions. GoodSearch estimates each search will raise $0.01 for your designated charity. 100 supporters searching twice a day could generate $730 a year, 1000 supporters - $7,300, and 10,000 supporters searching twice a day could generate $73,000!

With your help, GoodSearch can generate donations, at no cost to you that will help provide clean water to the people of Africa.

Got Water? Virtual Auction Raises Over $5500!

The African Well Fund is thrilled to announce that its first annual virtual charity auction was a fantastic success, raising over $5500 for clean water projects in Africa. The money raised will be used to fund projects in Angola where there is a great need. Currently, less than half of the population in Angola has access to clean water and sanitation. Angola also suffers from the world’s fourth worst child mortality rate.

The auction was an online event which utilized the services provided by MissionFish and eBay’s Giving Works. The event initially ran from Nov. 7 through Nov. 13th and then was extended for an additional week. Auction items were donated by AWF supporters including many in the U2 fan community. AWF would like to thank all those who donated as well as all those who bid on the items offered.

AWF intends to make the auction an annual event. If you have an item or service you would like to donate for Got Water? 2006, or would like to serve on the auction committee, please contact Paola Palumbi at palumbip@georgetown.edu or Diane Yoder at dyoder@africanwellfund.org.
