Why Melissa & Matt is fundraising for clean water

Since we have been so blessed, we have decided not to register for wedding gifts. We feel that being surrounded by the people we love is our greatest gift!

However, for those who feel compelled to send us a token of your esteem, please consider making a charitable donation to Charity Water, a non profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries.

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.

We started this fundraising campaign to help Charity Water build these types of projects around the world.

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.
