At age 3, Cosette became aware that there were people who didn't have enough food or water to live. With the purity and openness of a child she knew this was not right, and she wanted to do something about it.

She started painting and sold her paintings to raise money so she could help. She is now 5 and through the sales of her art she has raised over $10,000 for different charities.

She is particularly interested in the water crisis and has said she does not want to stop until everyone in the world has clean drinking water. For more on her origins into painting and philanthropy you can view her website www.cosetteart.com

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.

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.
