Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty as we have plenty of clean water to drink, yet 663 million people in the world lack access to clean water ... that's nearly 1 in 10 people. Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

In this season of giving, I'm inviting you to do something about it, and help sponsor a water project to bring clean water to an entire community that currently lacks access to clean water.

100% of what you give will go directly to fund the clean water project - and your donation is tax deductible (to the extent permitted under US tax law). And if you share your email with charity:water, you will receive periodic updates on our sponsored water project, including the GPS coordinates, photos and information about the exact community impacted.

Together we can bring clean, safe drinking water to an entire community for the first time. Please consider donating. Many thanks and happy holidays!
