Why Natalie Thompson 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.

    THANK YOU EVERYONE! Not only did we reach our goal but we surpassed it and 14 people will be getting access to clean water because of it. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but helping even a single person get something that we so often take for granted is worth every spare ounce of energy we can muster. Thank you all so much for your kind hearts and support. September is my favorite month of the year and I'm so glad this is how I got to spend it!

    Warmly,
    Natalie

    THANK YOU to every single person who took the time to not only read about this campaign, but to contribute your hard earned money toward this cause. I cannot express how much these acts of kindness mean to me. My heart is overflowing. This has made for the most incredible birthday.

    I hope that we can all continue to spread the word about Charity Water and the good work they're doing. My birthday may be over, but the shortage of clean water in many parts of the world isn't. There are still 20 days left to donate toward my birthday campaign and so far 12 people will be getting clean water!!! Please feel free to share the link, or create your own campaign, so we can continue to help those in need. I can't wait to see what we can do!

    Thank you again, with all my heart. Your generosity will light the world.

    -Natalie
