BB's Clean Water for Christmas No. 4
organized by Bridger Anderson
Help Bridger give the gift of clean water. 100% of every donation raised will fund charity: water's work providing access to clean water projects around the world.

goal
Hi, I'm Bridger! I'm 10 years old and in the 5th grade. This is my fourth year giving up Christmas presents for Clean Water. Instead of video games and new books, I want to raise $10,000 for families in Cambodia or Ethiopia.
Why $10,000? That seems like a lot of money. IT IS A LOT OF MONEY! $10,000 will sponsor a water well and fund sanitation and hygiene in those communities, which will increase the health benefits and lead to a longer-lasting project. Costs from these wells have gone up in the past few years that I've been campaigning.
About me:
My Family: I have a mom and dad, 2 sisters, an older brother, a twin brother, and a little foster sister. Also, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 3 chickens.
I Like: scorpions and dragons.
My Favorite Things To Do: write, draw and read.
When I Grow Up, I'm Going To: be an author and/or artist. I'm going to travel a lot and meet all different types of people.
Countries I've Sponsored Wells In: Ethiopia {2010} and Rwanda {2012}!
**Christmas is a time for family, celebration and love.**
It’s also a time when America spends around $500 billion on Christmas gifts. That's more than $600 per person. This Christmas, I'm taking a step back -- I want to give more than gifts that fit in boxes.
I want kids to be able to be kids and not worry about providing their families with clean water. They should be going to school and learning like me.
800 million people are living without clean drinking water on our planet. Some walk miles every day to get to the nearest source: a stagnant, parasite-infested stream or pond.
My mission is to give clean water for Christmas this year. 100% of every dollar I raise will go directly to water projects. And when the projects are complete, charity: water will show us GPS coordinates, photos and other details about the communities we've helped.
Please make this the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER by donating to my clean water project! Just $20 can give one person clean water!
I love you, BB!
