Why Ben Calhoun 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 -- 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, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

    Also, if we raise $650, that will provide clean water to 21 people. Hence the name “21 for 21”

    But let’s do better than that. I know we can. ❤️

    Hey Friends!

    My 21st birthday (on October 3rd) is fast approaching. Birthday gifts used to be a huge deal to me. I would make a list of things I wanted (legos; CDs; electronics; etc.) As I’ve grown up, I’ve lost desire for “things”. As a way to do good this year, I’ve created this campaign to raise money for people who need clean water. There are MILLIONS of people across the world who don’t have the access to clean water that they need, and honestly deserve. In my opinion, every human deserves access to clean water. Think about it. What would you do if you didn’t have access to clean water? It’s an unsettling thought, that is a reality to so many people.

    So, as a birthday “gift” to me, consider donating to the work Charity Water is doing across the world to provide clean water to others.

    Love you all.
