Have you ever said, "I'm dying of thirst?" If so, I bet you didn't really mean it.

If you're like me, you don't spend too much time thinking about water -- it's everywhere we go. When we're thirsty, we flip a handle or push a button. When we're dirty, we twist a shower knob. When our garden needs watering, when our pasta needs to be boiled, when we use the bathroom -- water is just an arm’s length away.

But, in many developing countries, women and children walk for hours, up and down mountains, just to collect water that can make them really sick.

We can play a small part in solving the water crisis -- donate to this campaign. Last year we raised over $500 to build a well in India. This year we will help build a well in Africa.

100% of everything we raise will directly fund water projects. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send us proof in pictures and GPS coordinates, so we can see the actual people and communities we impacted.
