Why Vanessa Butz is fundraising for clean water

Charity Water is the most impressive and transparent charity I have come across and this has inspired me to start this campaign. Watch Scott Harrison's (Founder) incredible talk at LeWeb in Paris for more information http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLdDMDkwK1s. The best christmas present you could give yourself would be to donate to this campaign for clean water to people who are dying simply from drinking dirty water. Nobody should die from water in our world, yet 4,500 children alone are dying from water related diseases every day. Whilst we are drinking Glühwein and eating Turkeys, 1 in 6 people still do not have any access to clean water. The initial goal for this campaign is 10,000 USD, that is just over 6,000 Pounds and definitely achievable. I would like to see how much further it can go.

    This is the most impressively transparent charity I have seen, which has inspired me to start a Oxford University campaign for clean water. Nobody should be forced to drink dirty water that kills them.

This campaign brought clean water to May Zhilto, Ethiopia.
