Why Wendy Rismeyer 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. But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, nearly 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses--most 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 can help provide clean water to communities whose current water sources include swamps, rivers, and ponds--often miles away from the village.

We started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and we're looking for anyone who can help.

Please consider purchasing a hand painted ornament.

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.
