Why Samantha Roxas 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.

    Sam,
    Sorry I'm late to the party and missed the ACTUAL party. I'm giving what I probably would have spent that night (to take you to over $1000, YAY) and am glad it's going to a worthy cause you care about. Happy Birthday babe!

    I can't believe it!!! What started as a modest $350 fund to help a few people get clean drinking water ended up being a $900 FUND to help 30+ PEOPLE GET DRINKING WATER FOR OVER 20 YEARS!! I'm overwhelmed, overjoyed, proud, inspired. You moved to take a small part in making people's lives safer, healthier and happier. I hope you're as happy and grateful as I am. THANK YOU for making this birthday so much more special than the others and for being a part of the charity:water movement.

    Please see my personal thanks to each of you on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/samroxas

    THANK YOU THANK YOU and Happy New Year!
    -- Sam
