Taylor Swift for Peace in Sudan

Obakki — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:18:23 +0000

Everyday illegal weapons contribute to the deaths of many in South Sudan as tensions and turmoil rise over scarce resources and fractured hopes. As the dry season continues and water sources become even more of a rarity the stress that exists between the tribes will escalate. The UN and the Government of South Sudan have relayed with confidence that the Obakki Foundation’s commitment to clean water is exactly what is needed to start weaving the people together and initiate the pursuit of peace. With peace comes development and the chance of a new life.

Taylor Swift is a stand for peace in Sudan. She’s donated a beautiful AUTOGRAPHED acoustic guitar, case included, to our Rainmaker Auction, hosted on eBay Giving Works, alongside many of her famous friends such as Carrie Underwood & Kenny Chesney, Colbie Callait and more. We’ve already started drilling well #1. Help us get to 200.

Check back daily for featured items and an inside look at our water project in Sudan on our Obakki Foundation blog.

Thank You
