Why Madeline Schwartz is fundraising for clean water

Let's bring clean water to 44 people - the same amount of people as our student body!

When we travel with TGS, we 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 pasta needs to be boiled, when we use the bathroom, when we're dirty after soccer practice -- water is just an arm's length away.

But, in many developing countries, women and children walk for hours, just to collect water that can make them really sick. When we lived in India, we spent time in small villages around our school, and witnessed the limited access people have to clean water firsthand. With a project like this, we can help make that type of access less and less limited.

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.
