Why Ryan Laverty is fundraising for clean water

Incredibly thankful for 21 years of life and for all that I have. This year, I ask that you help me celebrate by buying a drink - not for me, but for someone in need.

Last year, I watched Scott Harrison, the Founder of charity: water, speak at Inbound and read his novel, Thirst, soon thereafter. I was incredibly moved by how many people this organization has helped and how it is operated.

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.

Clean water prevents diseases, allows children to go to school, and makes people feel beautiful when they can wash themselves. A great deal of humanity flows from an open tap.

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.

I ask everyone reading this to consider donating 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 for reading, and let's see how many people we can help together.
