Why Terence Tao is fundraising for clean water

Hi Friends!

I was reading and watching lots of news and videos about charity:water since beginning of this year, and I realize how lucky and blessed we are to have easy 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 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 with this. I cannot think of a more meaningful and joyful way of celebrating my 30 years old birthday than this. We could have different opinion on politics, religions, or lots of stuff this days, but I think we all agreed every human on earth should be able to have their basic need met, to have access to safe drinking water.

$1, $5, or $20 (sky is the limit, haha), anything you can give is a huge help. 100% (Yep, Every. Single. Dollar!!) 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.
