Why Paul Lewis 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.

    Hey all, I just wanted to post a quick positive update about all of us. A couple of weeks ago I dedicated my birthday to Charity:Water and so many people responded! I also posted to my Facebook and set my Amazon account so that a percentage of every purchase I make goes to that charity.

    I wanted to thank everyone! Between the direct link, plus FB, plus Amazon we raised $868! That means that 27 people will get clean water for life.

    The world often seems to be a dark, sometimes downright evil place, but I think there are far more awesome people who care and bring light and good into the world then the few that bring darkness.

    Keep the faith, we are making a difference, and thank you for so many people, many I have never met in person, making my birthday amazing this year!
