Why Scott & Rachael Roth is fundraising for clean water

There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

My birthday is just around the corner. I have been richly blessed in my life with family, friends, and good health. I have also been blessed by being born into a country and a time where access clean water is taken for granted. Not everyone has. Instead of gifts this year, I am asking everyone to donate to charity: water and help bring clean water to people who need it.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 1,400 kids die from preventable, water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need. In addition, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 21 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped!

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign. Thank you, and God bless you.
