Six-Year-Old Boy Brings Clean Water To Africa

A Beautiful Dream

When Ryan heard how Jimmy lived in Africa, he was shocked. He wanted to bring clean water to his friend, so he started saving up money from doing different chores. In a year, he saved $70, which he donated to a charity. People took notice of his actions and started working with him.

A year later, he raised $2,000. Then, he traveled to Africa to open his first well. Other charities were so impressed that they helped him found his own charity, Ryan's Well. His family later adopted Jimmy, who became his brother. Ryan is 30 now and still an activist, working hard to provide clean water to everyone in Africa.
