Why Dena Rollings is fundraising for clean water

Tom Hiddleston recently went with UNICEF UK to Guinea to learn and bring awareness to the world about conditions there and what UNICEF is doing to help. As he traveled he wrote a blog about his experiences. On Tom's day 4 blog he is hit in the head by their need for water.

"What is the biggest problem for you here, I ask. Water, they reply. There is no water. The statement is so basic and baldly stated it hits me like a club to the head. Can you talk more about that, we ask. One woman speaks up. There is only one well, it is a long walk from the village, and we only have access to it for certain hours of the day because it is controlled by the military. I don't need to expand on this. They are deprived of a basic need."

I am also reminded at the same time, there is something that can be done to help.

I have been a member of Charity Water since learning about it from Cake Wrecks. I have donated what I can, when I can.

Today I want to start a campaign to help.

I know Tom is working with UNICEF, but I also want to bring to light this wonderful charity that will bring this basic need, water, to many people who don't have it.

In the name of helping those who have none, I hope you can skip your moccachino today and help give this most basic of needs we all take for granted to those that don't have it.

As Tom Hiddleston said,

"As we drive away from Mandiana, from this hot, barren place, I feel further away from home than ever. I can't conceive of what life must be like there on a daily basis; and the simple challenges they face to survive. 'There is no water'. I can't get it out of my head."
