Why Grace Wickham is fundraising for clean water

Hey guys! This year I am planning on celebrating my birthday differently. There are so many less fortunate people than me, so instead of asking for presents I am asking that people donate to my charity water campaign.

This campaign will help provide safe drinking water for people who do not have access to it. Almost one billion people in the world do not have access to safe water. In many countries women and children walk for hours each day to collect water. This water can make them very sick. In addition, women and young girls spend the majority of their day collecting water and cannot go to school and get an education. Putting wells near towns can do a lot more than just provide clean drinking water, it also gives women and children more opportunities to have a better life.

I have learned that only $65 can give one person in Rwanda clean drinking water. If we all pitched in imagine how many lives we could change. 100% of donations to charity water directly go towards providing people with drinking water.

Please consider helping the cause by donating to my campaign, every dollar counts! Thank you!
