Why Benjamin Olson is fundraising for clean water

If you'd like for me to film a cover video to dedicate to a loved one or friend of yours, please make a donation on this page and write the song you'd like me to learn and the name of the person you'd like me to dedicate it to in your comment section when making the donation. Then keep your eyes peeled for its release on my youtube account and on facebook!

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections, and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me. I have run two half marathons in a charity: water shirt to spread the word about the importance of this issue and what charity: water is doing about it, and I will keep running. In addition to running, I am now recording cover videos upon donation and request. Follow me on Youtube, make a donation, and tell me what song you'd like to hear along with who you'd like to dedicate the song to, and together we can help charity: water let water run.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money we raise here will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped. Cool, right? Let me know if you have any questions, and join us in the fight against the global water crisis.

    Benjamin, your passion for this charity has me in awe, I’ve also learned so much through your posts about it! I love your idea to use music to bring people in. I hope you continue to bring education, love, and passion to others around you. We are all very blessed to know you. I look forward to seeing the next videos with songs.
