Why Matthew Youngberg is fundraising for clean water

Diseases from unsafe water and sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

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!

Please help make a difference in the world; my company has partnered with charity: water to build a well in Rwanda. As a company, we have pledged to fundraise $50,000 to build a well that will supply clean water to an entire community in Rwanda. With roughly 60 days left, we are currently sitting at just over 10% of our goal reached.

Many people around the world don’t have easy access to clean, potable water. Every day, 2,200 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.
