Why John Chaffee is fundraising for clean water

Hello All!

This December, I want to help contribute some good to the world... and I thought, "Why not include other people?"

As someone who has been overseas and helped drill for water in Ghana, I have seen firsthand what happens when fresh water comes out of the ground and how much joy it brings to a whole village to have clear water just feet from their front door. Raising $500 will help 16 people have clean water. (I am certain we can raise even more than that!)

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.
