Why Joanna Ahlum 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.

    To celebrate Eliza's first year of life, we'd like to spread the gift of clean water in lieu of birthday presents. Part of the inspiration comes from the name we chose for her- "Eliza" has connotations of joyful abundance and "Katherine" means pure/clear - so clean water just makes sense! Rather than purchasing a gift or a card, please consider donating $10 to Charity Water and let's celebrate the gift of our beautiful baby girl by connecting with beautiful children around the world!

    Local friends and loved ones- we'll celebrate Liza and what we've accomplished as a community on Saturday, June 17 at 4pm at the Ahlum's home. Stay tuned for an evite!
