August is Water Quality Awareness Month, or Water Awareness Month, which highlights the importance of improving the safety and quality of water for communities all over the world. All life depends on water to survive — it’s a basic human need — so why do 1.1 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water? Moreover, 2.7 billion people experience water scarcity at least one month a year. If that wasn’t scary enough, it’s projected that by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may be facing...

Just hearing the word “Haiti” triggers emotion. Haiti’s pain has been seen and felt across continents and cultures. Even in the midst of more recent tragedy, this island still beckons our attention and our sympathy.

Images of the destruction and despair still appear on the television, online, and in our minds- piles of rubble and waste, children sobbing in the streets in tattered clothing, and droves of missionaries and aid workers sifting through the debris and serving lines of despondent people food and medical treatment.

This is the story of Haiti we have learned and that...

The Woodlands High School volleyball program is going on strike! On Friday at the stroke of midnight, the girls will stop showering for a week or until they raise $5000.00 for a great cause.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Despite our drought restrictions in Central Texas, water is still not that hard to come by. In other parts of the world however, it’s a much different situation.

But local organization Well Aware is trying to change that. Well Aware is an Austin-based nonprofit that funds and implements clean water systems for impoverished communities in Africa.

Sarah Evans and her team just returned from a trip to Kenya, where they put in their 26th high-yielding water system. National Geographic Creative photographer Greg Davis traveled with the Well Aware team and...

The foundation of everything is water. We are blessed with plentiful, clean water in most places in the US. But, 1 of 7 people in the world still struggle to survive because they are not so blessed.

For the seventh year, Austin’s Well Aware presents its 2015 Shower Strike. Each year, volunteers across the globe unite and vow not to shower for one week or until they raise $1,000.

Next time you’re chugging a glass of water, consider that there are communities around the world without that ability, and be a little more grateful for that water.

March 22 was United Nations World Water Day, and many people took time to recognize global water issues. Some attended events and possibly even thought about water conservation and the importance of water in their own daily lives.

I am on Day 6 of vowing not to shower until I raise my pledge to Well Aware as part of their annual Shower Strike fundraiser. This explains why..

Two local Africa-focused nonprofits, The African Leadership Bridge and CTC International, recently joined Well Aware as Shower Strike fundraising teams for the first time this year.

Girls on The Xtreme Volleyball Club team in The Woodlands are boycotting showers for one week to raise money for clean water in Africa.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas--A group of teenage volleyball girls, from Xtreme Volleyball Club, are planning on stinking it up during a week-long shower strike to raise money to build water systems in Africa.

(HOUSTON) — A group of Houston-area volleyball players are “stinking it up” for a good cause.

The 14- and 15-year-old players are participating as a fundraising team — dubbed “Xtremely Stinky” — in the infamous global Shower Strike campaign held annually by Well Aware.

We're sure a bunch of teens in The Woodlands aren't dealing with the everyday difficulties of pouring fresh water into a cup and drinking it, especially with all that good clean liquid ready to be pumped in through Lake Conroe.

The girls' shower boycott began last Saturday, March 22, and will come to an end this Saturday, March 29.

Second grade class at Sunset Heights Elementary School led by their teacher Dawn Scholtens are on a shower strike!

WOODLANDS, Texas Several students at the Woodlands High School have chosen to stop showering for a week in order to raise money for a non-profit that is building wells Africa.

It's not the cleanest way to raise money, but it does raise a lot of attention.

Sarah Evans, founder and executive director of Well Aware, sat down and spoke to KVUE about her nonprofit and fundraiser.

DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Imagine not taking a shower for a week…but for a good cause. An Austin non-profit is asking people to do just that in an effort to raise awareness and money for water systems in impoverished communities in Africa.

We are proud to announce that we are partnering with Well Aware, a local non-profit that works to provide innovative and sustainable solutions to water scarcity and contamination in Africa.

Well Aware, the Austin-based nonprofit that builds water systems for impoverished communities in Africa, has announced the return of its infamous Shower Strike— a global annual fundraiser that recruits volunteers to abstain from showering for one week or until they raise at least $1,000 toward life-saving clean water.
