Why Meigan Canfield 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.

Thank you guys so much! This is an amazing charity, and if we could reach this goal, there would be a seriously thankful community of people that we may not know, but love, and it would definitely file in the "best birthday ever".

    Hi everybody! I really wanted to write personal thank you notes to each of you separately but I realized that that would be insane and I have no clue what most of your addresses are. Plus we live in the digital age now (haha).

    MAINLY - I want to thank you all SO much. SO SO much. I had no clue what the outcome of something like this would be. And to be honest I was a little terrified of failing at fundraising. But I did it anyways, because a fundraiser like this cannot be related to my ego. And you all BLEW ME AWAY. Sometimes we all need a little reminder of how selfless and sincere the people who surround you are. And more importantly, it actually motivated me to donate a little more as well. You helped support communities without clean water resources, but you also taught me a couple of valuable lessons, and I am beyond appreciative. Enjoy the rest of your Springs and I hope to see every single one of you very, very soon!
