Why Oriel T Wiggins is fundraising for clean water

I'm turning 40! My biggest wish is HOPE. Hope for the world, and hope that I can help. 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.

    In two weeks I'll celebrate my 40th birthday. (Yes, I'm owning it this year). And I wanted to do something big. As I look back over my last forty and forward to my next, the thing I need(ed) most is HOPE. Hope for the world and hope that I can do anything to help. My heart can't help but be dialed in and care deeply about suffering. One of the things on my heart lately is quality of life of those less fortunate. The majority of social ills and suffering for so many is directly or indirectly affected by lack of access to clean water.  Charity: Water is actively changing this from the ground up. One thing I like about this organization is that 100% of donations goes directly to supplying clean water, all business expenses are raised separately. 

    I usually don't even tell anyone it's my birthday, and certainly never ask for gifts. But if my ask brings life and hope to the suffering, THAT would be the best gift for me. Hoping to drastically change 40 lives with you. Anything helps.
