About The Water Colors Life Project
Africa’s exuberant spirit runs deep in the hearts of the Nelson Family and their trusted friends in the Great State of Texas.
Unfortunately, clean drinking water is an enormous challenge in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa; impacting health, education and human development.
THE WATER COLORS LIFE PROJECT helps provide clean drinking water to an average of 500 people per well. Water Wells create more resilient and sustainable communities, improving and saving thousands of lives.
Natasha (Nelson) and an artist in Zimbabwe look on as drilling for water continues. And soon the TEXAS 50.
