Why Jim Merchant 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.

My birthday is in less than a month and I wanted to start this and try and raise some money for people without clean drinking water. I don't want people's money, I'd rather have it go towards clean water for people in need instead of cold beer. Good people get behind good causes. I found this through my friend that was doing this for his birthday. Have a good day and get outside! The more you travel, the more you find out how different people live and not everyone has it as good as you. Have a good day!
