Eleven-year-old Tyler Brunst from Loomis, California is a kid with big dreams of bringing clean water to communities in Africa. And his dreams are turning into reality through his lemonade stand.<\/p>\n

His story begins back in September 2011, when the mailman delivered the World Vision Gift Catalog; he read it cover to cover. The next morning he brought the Gift Catalog to his mother and told him he wanted to help bring clean water to Africa.<\/p>\n

“I could not believe people did not have enough clean water to drink,” says Tyler. “It comes straight out of my faucet!”<\/p>\n

With his first lemonade stand, Tyler raised $400. But his lemonade stand is forever evolving with new ideas and causes. To date, he has raised more than $16,000<\/a> for clean water. His goal is to raise $50,000.<\/p>\n

“I want to show God’s love to a hurting world,” says Tyler. “I want to do something — something life changing — and I would like you to join me.”<\/p>\n
