Why Alexandra Urban is fundraising for clean water

Most of us enjoy clean water each day without giving it a second thought, but millions of people around the world don’t have that luxury.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and escalate around the world, those without access to safe water will have an especially difficult time fighting off this disease. How can we ask individuals in these communities to wash their hands if they risk getting other illnesses from the dirty water itself?

Even before the pandemic, more than 1,000 kids died each day from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation, children miss class because they have to walk for water instead of attending school, and women must give their time to finding water instead of to their families or a job. 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.

YOU CAN HELP! Every single dollar donated goes directly to the field to help build clean water projects. It is the absolute best gift I could imagine for my birthday - thank you in advance for your generosity and commitment to this amazing cause!
