The Thirst Project is a growing movement aimed at building fresh water wells in communities suffering from the global water crisis.  Started by college students the Thirst Project now reaches out to colleges and high schools to educate their students on the nearly 1 billion people who still do not have access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation. 

Phoebe Rose joined Michael Welch and guests at “Cocktails For A Cause” held at the retro glamour inspired Rubix Hollywood apartments.

Located in the heart of the recently gentrified old school Hollywood-steps from Hollywood Boulevard- this luxury apartment community combines Hollywood Regency glamour with a colorful, modern edge, green design, a full complement of amenities (pet friendly of course) and community living.

Seth Maxwell - Founder of The Thirst Project

Michael -"Dad" to two rescue pups, joined the Thirst Project over a year ago and will be volunteering his time to accompany outreach staff on their classrooms visits. 

Seth Maxwell, founded the project at the age of 19-enlisting the help of 6 friends and with a budget of $70.  In less than 3 years, Thirst Project members have reached over 500,000 students and in turn raised $1.3 mil.  

This money has provided 50,000 people with drinkable water.  In these communities, disease, child mortality, AIDS, etc. drop dramatically thanks to the clean water wells.
