Why kenneth R Lyngaas is fundraising for clean water

There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

We are fundraising charity water by selling a specially designed organic cotton bag with one of the finest green messages by Gandhi; “you must be the change you wish to see in the world."
Today the richest 20% destroys and poisons the world without respect kills not only their own nature, but exploit natural resources people in other parts around the world are depended. The result is catastrophic, 2,8 billion live on less than $2, and 1.2 billion of them barely survive on $1. In addition than 800 million people live without access to clean water, a thing we take for granted.
In a global capitalistic economy, the water crisis creates opportunities for the money people as they buy valuable land with water reserves. This makes it difficult. A situation unfortunate now and will increase in the future. Therefore, the work of charity; water is extremely important, and we believe their (100% model) makes the flow of money transparent for you and people who are fundraising their work.

Water changes everything

A combination of demographic, technological, and economic trends has accelerated the ability of humans to modify their built and natural habitats. Growth in the world’s economic sectors—including agriculture—and urban centre is changing the landscapes of our Earth and multiplying the flow of goods and services derived from water and other natural resources.

But the benefits have not been shared by everyone. The gap between the rich and the poor have been and remind, wide and increasing. In the north, for example, overeating is estimated to 1.5 billion persons, aged 20 years and above, We take for granted safe water at any time and place. However, access to safe water is still a dream for about 900 million people and more than 2.5 billion lack access to safe sanitation.

The needs for urban water and rural water supply are tremendous according to World Health Organization and the United Nations the inner city population in developing countries in 1990 without access to safe drinking water was approximately 240 million people, and in rural areas in developing countries was roughly 980 million people, for a total of 1,200 million people without access to safe drinking water. A decade later (1990 – 2000), the total population in developing countries requiring safe drinking water rose to more than 2000 million people.

It’s time for a new and different way of thinking, remake, recycle, reduce waste and losses of the product manufactured (between one-third and one-half 1/3 of food produced on the farm is lost, wasted or converted. This is not only applied to food and water. Similar view can be made concerning other commodities.

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, 2,200 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.
100% of the money 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.
