Why Abby O'Brien is fundraising for clean water

Everyone deserves clean water.

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.

Turning 18 is so surreal along with being a senior in high school and soon heading off to college. Education is extremely important to me and I am very fortunate to be able to receive an amazing education. I would love to see others have the opportunity to go to school and not spending their time walking long miles for water that is not even clean.

With this campaign, you can help by donating and making this a very special 18th birthday for me!

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.
