Why Mary Abigail Hughes 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.

    I heard a podcast recently that featured this charity. I was shocked by the stories of children who had to walk 16 miles every day with a huge clay pot to bring water to their families. Honestly, I had never given a lot of thought to this problem, but something as simple yet vital as water can make the difference between life and death. America could easily extinguish this dilemma if we could come together. Give up Starbucks for a week. Use part of your tithe. Make other people aware! Together we can change so many lives! This shouldn't even be an issue. And hopefully soon, it no longer will be.

This campaign brought clean water to Touzona, Mali.
