Weeks ago, Our class was learning about Natalia, a 13 year old girl from Mozambique who had to travel 2 miles each day, seven days a week in order to get the water that her family needed to survive. Every 90 seconds a child dies as a result of water-related diseases.

We were moved, at first, some of us were tearing up, then we decided that we wanted to take action. With the excuse of our teacher's birthday, we decided to start a fundraiser, but our goal was clear: We wanted to help more people to get access to 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.

We started this fundraising campaign to help Charity: Water build these types of projects around the world, and we looking for anyone who can help us. Our class believes that we can make a big impact with small actions.
Please donate to our 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.
