Why Donna Maneva is fundraising for clean water

Have you ever wondered how it feels to save someone's life? To know a human is dying right now and you are their only hope and hero?

Did you know that 42,000 people die every week from lack of water and poor hygiene and 90% of these deaths are children.

We never think when in the morning we turn the shower on and enjoy it, brush our teeth and have our coffee. We never think when we go to the shop and pick our botle of water between hundreds of different still, sparking and flavoured ones. We never think when we go to a luxury spa and have pampering water treatments. We even never think when we hear that water has been purified by diamonds and precious stones in order to prolong our life and beauty. We don't think we have it for for granted.

And at that very moment, while we have all these blessings,somewhere else- in another more disadvantaged world- there are people unable to have even a glass of clean water to drink, and there are mothers watching their children diying of thirst.

I found a way to make a difference and help improve this situation. I came across a dedicated charity- mycharity water- introduced to me by a good friend. The work these people have done is astonishing and it is inspiring to see people grow bigger than their own problems, and run after a dream they have never dared to dream on their own- not to leave a single person on the planet without clean water!

To support their work on 21- 23 August I will climb the highest peak of the Balkans- Musala. I dedicate this to raising awareness and funds and saving the lives of those less fortunate than us.

Dear friends, we can be a part of the dream for a fairer world and make it come true. We can be proud of ourselves that we did not pass by somebody in need on our way.

Please help!

Thank you,

Donna
