COORDINATES OF HER° x charity: water

I have worked in and lived in slums all over the world in an effort to better understand and serve the need that is so great. What I have learned is that we can never out-give poverty.

Recently, I was part of a team working in a slum in Nicaragua when I was faced once again with the issue of clean water for so many children around the world.

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 cleaner than most of our world population's drinking water.

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.

In celebration of Coordinates of Her° turning 1, I wanted to do something to give back and for our community of travelers to do something to be a part of the solution to the water crisis.

Coordinates of Her° has partnered with charity: water to fundraise for water projects all over the globe.

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.

Please donate to the Coordinates of Her° x Charity Water.
