Instead of dumping our most precious resource on the ground - let's help the places that need it most! Let's get it

Last year I gave up my birthday to help those less fortunate and I ended up raising $771 that funded a water source in Cambodia. It breaks my heart to see people dumping our most important resource on the ground to collect money for a charity. Although the "ice bucket challenge" is raising money for a good cause, isn't it much cooler to JUST DONATE? The water crisis is real yo - so let's do something about it! Last year my goal was to raise $1000 and I fell short. :( This year, however, I am upping the ante and trying to raise $2000!! Seeing as how many people are willing to give to a good cause this year - I think I will hit my goal with ease. ;) So instead of writing something on my facebok wall for my birthday, DONATE!! Exporting hugs and love to all!!! Thanks for being awesome!

During the hotter part of the year, the average temperature in the Sahel region of West Africa is more than 110 degrees.

For women here, not having access to clean water means hours of painful and exhausting work. Many of them walk miles each day just to reach the 100-year-old hole in the ground where they collect water. And they make that trip four or five times. Not only is that water contaminated and dirt-colored, but it has to be pulled up by hand, one bucket at a time.

The homemade rope burns their hands; it causes bleeding and leaves callouses — even scars. And sometimes the rope breaks, causing women to fall into the wells.

But we can change all of that!

We can bring solar powered pumps into communities and pipe water to tap stands right next to these women’s homes. We can bring time, energy and a better future to 100,000 people in Mali and Niger.

Help me play a small part in changing the lives of women in the Sahel -- donate to my campaign.

100% of everything we raise will directly fund water projects. And when those projects are finished, charity: water will send us proof in pictures and GPS coordinates, so we can see the actual people and communities we impacted.
