Why Leah Walshaw is fundraising for clean water

Yay!! You made it here! Selah’s donating her birthday to charity: water this year! Everyone who donated last year made her birthday extremely meaningful for her and you guys helped a bunch of people. She raised $758 which helped fund projects located in three Southern districts of Mali: the San District, the Tominian District, and the Kolokani District. The San district has a population of 334,911, but only 57% have access to safe drinking water. The Tominian district is home to more than 219,000 people, 51% of whom have access to clean water. And in the Kolokani District, the situation is even more dire: only one-third of 295,598 residents have access to this basic need.



This year her goal is $350 which will help 10 people get sustainable access to 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 4,100 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.

Selah started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and she's looking for anyone who can help.

Please consider donating -- 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.
