Why Ellesha Wanigasekera is fundraising for clean water

Recently, at the end of a long work day, I had no water at home for five consecutive hours. I nearly lost my mind. Is this what life is like for people without 24-7 access to clean water?? I can't even IMAGINE it, and yet this is the reality for 663 million people - twice the population of the United States!

This year I am trying to raise enough money to help 36 people - one person for each year of my life so far. It would mean the world to me if you could help out. $30 USD helps one person, but no donation is too small!

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.
