Why Paul and Kirsten Kesicki is fundraising for clean water

This holiday season $30 brings clean water to one person & a charity of your choice. Let's change lives together!

As many of you are aware, in 2012 our lives changed forever when we witnessed the water crisis first-hand. Thankfully we found charity:water and realized there is a way we can all help solve this crisis! With the generous support of so many of you, our original Holiday Water Wishes campaign raised $7,625 and helped to bring clean water to 840 people in the Enamulugeta, Aby Kokhi and Mai Tafat communities in Ethiopia! We encourage you to learn more (and see pictures!) about the impact those donations made by clicking here:

It is extremely fulfilling for us to have provided life's most basic need to so many people. We can't thank you enough for your support.

With that said, there is still A LOT of work to be done with 800 million people worldwide without access to clean water. We felt what better way to celebrate our success than to build upon it so we are excited to announce our Holiday Water Wishes II campaign with a goal of raising $10,000!

A $30 donation will bring clean water to one person and this year all donations are being matched by Keurig Green Mountain so your donations will help twice as many people! In addition, we know there are many worthy charitable causes in this world that are near and dear to each one of you. To show our appreciation for supporting a cause we are passionate about, we will donate $30 to a charity of your choice for the first 30 people that donate at least $30 to this campaign. Finally, if you help us reach our goal of $10,000 we will honor all of our donors via a public display of appreciation around the fountain in Washington Square Park on World Water Day on March 22, 2015.

For those of you new to charity:water, we encourage you to read about what led us here by clicking on the following link:

One thing we love about charity:water is the 100% model- where 100% of public donations are used to fund clean water projects with an accounting and proof for where every dollar gets spent in the field.

Remember, water changes everything. We hope that you will join us in making a difference.

Thank You and Happy Holidays,

Kirsten and Paul
