Why Scott van Niekerk is fundraising for clean water

Hi!
This is my story with this: https://vimeo.com/237565355

In celebration of 44 years on planet Earth, I don't want presents. I need for nothing. Instead, I'm asking that you step up and help make a difference by helping provide access for those in need to something we take for granted every day - 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! The idea that we couldn't access to as much clean water as we want is anathema to our daily experience.

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. In fact, 663 million people live without clean water – that’s nearly 1 out of every 10 people worldwide. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. 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. $30 means 1 new person gets access to clean water! WOW.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. To get to the goal of $4400 ($100/year), I'm asking for $44 from each of you (no matter where in the world you are).

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.

Together we are powerful, Together we can change the world. Let's focus that energy in a good direction
Your generosity isn't just appreciated, it's needed -- now more than ever.
Namaste - Peace + (Clean) Water,
Scott

PS - if you can't afford $44, I get it - donate whatever you can. Every cent helps. For those more fortunate, of course more is even better.
