Story

LifeSeasons & GEMS Development Foundation

LifeSeasons, inner-eco, and Health Concerns share a combined goal to help people live life to its fullest. We value life and it’s our desire to protect it, sustain it and see life flourish... And clean water is a critical ingredient for life! For that reason, we are joining GEMS and Larry Chatterley in raising funds for clean water in the remote village of Majok Goi in South Sudan, the newest country in the world. We all love South Sudan. We've been over to visit many times and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of volunteer hours to help spread awareness and fund projects to help our friends over there.


#VillageWellRide

Larry Chatterley is a cyclist and philanthropist from Denver, Colorado. This summer he is biking over 2,500 miles along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) to raise money and awareness for clean water in South Sudan. His friend Mary Majok, lost her son in South Sudan to malaria he contracted while gathering water. Larry hopes to raise enough money to install 12 wells in Majok Goi, South Sudan so that people like Mary and her son have access to clean and safe water. Larry is donating his time and resources to this endeavor, so all the proceeds will be used to bring water to the people of South Sudan.

Larry is starting his bike ride on July 1st and the fundraiser will last about 6 weeks.

Why Water?

Without quick access to clean water, families send their children on the dangerous 3 hour trek to the pongo river while they tend the crops. Not only must they be wary of hippos and alligators, this water is often contaminated, leading to giardia, amoebas, and parasites. The most devastating impact however is the fact that these children will never go to school. Together we can empower the children in Majok Goi to rebuild their young nation. 

More people die each year from dirty water than from violence. 5,000 children die each day from disease stemming from contaminated water.” - UNICEF
