Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink - we turn on our faucets and it's right there for us.

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. I am fundraising through this site, and through my photography work this year. Watch for upcoming campaigns this spring - Finally get those family photos done AND help bring clean water to someone else in the world. It's a win win!

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.
