Why Amira Abdella is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

With the will of God and the support of my family I am excited to announce that I will be graduating in May of 2015. As I successfully accomplish this life goal, I am overwhelmed with the thoughts of my prosperous future. Graduation being only a few months away, I am bound to think about the graduation gifts and money I will receive. I’ve had plans to purchase a new laptop, pay my loans or even put down a deposit on a new car. However, it is all over shadowed by something I wanted to do for years. As most of my close family and friends know, I am obsessed with a nonprofit organization called Charity: Water.

They create ways to bring clean and safe drinking water to communities worldwide. I am vowing to donate all my graduation money to help sponsor a community in Ethiopia, with clean water. I will have a lifetime to work for a new laptop, car, etc. However, it would be an honor to gift a community a well of clean water, after I successfully achieve my degree.

Support me in taking a step towards providing this basic human necessity to all. Clean drinking water is a basic human need and 748 million people on the planet don't have access to it.

100% of every dollar we raise goes toward project costs. And when the projects are finished (about 21 months), charity: water will show us the exact communities they helped.

Together we can give the gift of clean water!
