Why Maren Mitchell 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.

    Last summer I spent my birthday in Oaxaca, Mexico, where I had to buy bottled water daily. At least I had access to that. So many people in the world do not have basic access to clean water. This year, I'm celebrating in America, where clean water flows freely from the tap (in most places). I'm grateful for clean water for drinking and for swimming, my favorite summer activity. For my birthday, I ask that you please share your privilege of clean water with those less fortunate by donating to charity water.

This campaign brought clean water to Gongonia Bathagi, Bangladesh.
