Why Drew Dinkmeyer is fundraising for clean water

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!

Millions of 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; let's make an impact together and change this. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world and improve lives.

2017's inaugural Welly Maker campaign raised over $40,000 and projects were completed Mozambique. For those of you that contributed, THANK YOU! You can identify exactly where your donations went here: https://my.charitywater.org/drew-dinkmeyer/projects.

2018's Welly Maker donations are at work in Mali. We'll have continued updates on the progress as those funds get put to work this year.

For 2019's Welly Maker, I'm hoping to grow the campaign even further. Myself and friends of the Welly Maker have guaranteed matching the first $30,000 in donations dollar for dollar. Every donation you make will have double the impact!

The spirit of the campaign is to forego one chance to change your life through the Sunday Million or the Millionaire Maker for a guarantee to change someone else's life. The estimated cost of providing sustainable clean water for someone's entire life is just $30.

Your donations provide others with an opportunity to not only survive, but to start to thrive; with something that you and I take for granted every day - clean water!

Please donate to the 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.
