Why Kari Read 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!

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.

    It's Giving Tuesday! You can donate to my Charity: Water campaign & bring clean water to a community in need. If 14 of my friends give $10 today I will have met my fundraising goal. 💧

    Hey friends!
    Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!

    Every year, I use my birthday to raise funds for Charity:Water, an organization that is near and dear to my heart. This is our fourth year fundraising water projects for communities in need, my friends, and I am so humbled that I get to do this with you all again.

    As a toast to my 27th year my goal is to raise $200. This would insure that a family of six, much like my own Team Read, would have access to clean water.

    Any amount raised by my birthday campaign would then be combined with other campaigns to fully fund a clean water project in the appropriately matched community. The whole community would get clean water!

    Charity:Water will email me updates along the way about: where our funds are, what we are building, and who we are helping. I share each of these updates to my FB to keep donors involved with the progress.

    So, please consider giving. Every dollar goes straight into the field - even dollar donations make a big impact. Cheers!
