Why Kim and Steve are fundraising for clean water

What would you do for clean water? For the 703 million people living without it, the answer is anything. And they do: they walk miles every day, in treacherous conditions and extreme heat, just to access water that makes them sick — or worse.

That’s why I’m doing this fundraiser. charity: water challenged me to do something to help those who would do anything for water that’s safe to drink.

Please support my fundraiser. Every $40 I raise will provide a lifetime of clean water to one person. Most importantly, 100% of every dollar you donate will go directly to providing the life-changing gift of clean water where it’s needed most. charity: water will even report back with details of where your money went, and how it’s helping.

Stephen pinned an update

I want to thank all of you for supporting Charity: Water as part of my birthday celebration.

Kim and I reviewed the open opportunities and have decided to fund a water project in the Ziguinchor region of Senegal. Senegal is one of the poorest countries in Africa and is ranked 169th of 193 on the Human Development Index.

Your contributions will be instrumental in implementing a piped system with tap stands for households, communities and schools in the Ziguinchor region. Piped systems allow for a high level of service, as households can be provided private connections, greatly reducing water collection times and allowing for more time to develop economic activities and educational opportunities.

We will be providing further updates as the project commences.

Again, thank you for your support of this great organization.

Best,

Kim & Steve
