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.

I want people to donate to a cause that I really believe in. I only very recently found out about this amazing organization through one of my classes. The whole movement is touching and beautiful. It’s crazy to think that clean drinking water, a commodity that is so easily found here in the states, is unavailable to sooo many people in the world.

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live in a place where I can stay hydrated at such little cost. However, women my age in many other countries break their backs, have to travel miles, and sacrifice an education just to get water that isn’t even clean for their families.

Even the smallest donation can help bring clean drinking water to hundreds of people!!

Instead of buying me things I probably won't use or need, please donate and support this cause with me to help bring clean drinking water to the rest of the world!!
