Why Melanie Bruening Weitz is fundraising for clean water

My students and I read an article about the global water crisis. We were so sad to discover how many people on Earth do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. They had to do something.

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.

My students and 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 our 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 am amazed at support! Thank you for helping me teach my students the power of community. There were so motivated by the article on the global water crisis; they wanted to change the world. It brought tears to my eyes to listen to their conversations. I just love this. Together we can teach kids to BE the change in our world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please feel free to share our project. I am humbled by the love and support. Thank You, Melanie Weitz
