Karen’sKornerArt with heart
I paint because art brings joy. I give because clean water changes what is possible for a child, a family, and a community.
In northern Nigeria, wells near schools help girls and boys collect clean water while staying close to class. That means less time walking for water and more time learning.
The heart is simple: change a child, change a family, change a community. That is why every painting here is connected to LearnWells.

A $50 contribution can help build wells near schools. When a painting sells, that gift becomes one more step toward clean water for children and families.
The need
About 70% of people in rural northern Nigeria lack access to clean water.
Wells near schools let children collect water for their families without losing the school day.
Clean water and better sanitation help protect children from illnesses that keep them from learning and growing.
100% of funds given to LearnWells are committed to building wells near schools in northern Nigeria.
I have spent more than 20 years working with nonprofit organizations, and I have seen how public awareness can move people to act. With LearnWells, the need is clear and personal.
Children should not have to choose between collecting water and going to school. It really is all about the children.
Karen’s Korner keeps the promise simple: proceeds support the next wells near schools in northern Nigeria.
One painting may not build a well by itself. But each sale joins the steady giving that can bring clean water to a school, a family, and a community.
