About the campaign

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!

charity: water is a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe water to people around the world.
A private group of philanthropists cover our operating costs so that 100% of all public donations can directly fund clean water projects.
