Why Shilpi and Sheel is fundraising for clean water

Hi everyone, thank you for visiting our page! It’s summer-time and everyone is enjoying vacations and gorgeous weather but across the globe is a different story, one that we want to help do something about.
800 million people are living without clean drinking water on our planet. Some walk miles every day to get to the nearest source: a stagnant, parasite-infested stream or pond. Clean water should not be so difficult to get, it should not be a luxury for so many. As monsoon season rages on in India, clean water is even harder to come by.

There are 2 things that you can do to be a part of the solution:

1. Share this page! Spread the word about this issue and campaign - Share it on Facebook, Tweet about it on Twitter, Post about it on your blog, Send the link to your email contacts...Spreading the word will only make the campaign for a solution stronger.

2. Support this campaign financially if you can. Our goal is $4,500, which with your help can give 10 families the “luxury” of clean water. 100% of every dollar we raise will go directly to water projects. And when the projects are complete (appx. 18 months), Charity: Water will show us GPS coordinates, photos and other details about the communities we've helped. Please join us by donating, just $20 can give someone access to clean drinking water.

With just a small act of kindness, you can help us make it easier for India’s poor to not only access clean water but also to focus on economic and educational opportunities for future success. A little can go a very long way -- whether that be spreading the word, donating or both!

Watch the video below to see what this is all about.

We hope you will join us,
Sheel and Shilpi
