When I found out that more than a billion people live without clean, safe water every day, I realized the new year was the perfect time to start a campaign to help change this. With charity: water, a little can go a very long way -- just $20 can give someone access to clean drinking water. And just $250 could give two families of six clean water. These are small amounts of cash to us. They are years of life for others.

My goal? I want to raise $1000 for the new year. But I need your help. 100% of every dollar raised will go toward building water projects in developing countries. And when the projects are finished (about 18 months), charity: water will show us just which communities were impacted with GPS coordinates, photos and other details.

Together, we'll be able to see what we've accomplished.

Let's make our little go a long way.
