It's Oct. 3, meaning it's 'Mean Girls' Day, and the cast of the 2004 comedy have partnered with the Thirst Project to build a fresh water well in Uganda.
They did it through a video that directed fans of the Tina Fey-penned teen comedy to donate $3 to build the $8,000 well.
“Cady was from Africa, and this year, we want your help to build a well with the Thirst Project!” the cast said on the nonprofit’s website."$8,000 is all it costs to build a well for an entire village in Uganda, which would bring clean water to nearly 500 people.” The non-profit Thirst Project works with young people to end the global water crisis by building the wells in developing communities that need safe, clean drinking water. In the last 10 years, the project has raised more than $10 million to provide clean water to 400,000 people in 13 countries.
The “Mean Girls” effort, which launched Thursday, has gained 166 supporters so far who have raised $2,221.
