Why Emily Crawford is fundraising for clean water

Since we began walking for water in 2012, we have raised over $13,700, which has brought hundreds of people clean water for life, in dozens of villages in Ethiopia, Congo, Nepal, Cambodia, Tanzania, Kenya, Niger, Malawi, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Madagascar.

Look here for many pictures of THE ACTUAL PEOPLE who are grateful for your support. I get emotional when I see their faces: https://columbiapsychology.com/index.php/charity-water/

Please join us at 10 a.m. on September 23rd for our 11th annual Walk for Water in Columbia, MO, for a 2.5 Mile Walk on the beautiful Bear Creek Trail. We meet at the Garth Nature Area parking lot and end at Cosmo Park.

If you are walking, please try to contribute to the cause by sharing this donation link with your friends and family. Even if you cannot walk this year, please share with those who share our mission to bring clean water to all.

Walkers please also RSVP at Facebook Walk for Water 2023.

Charity Water is a trusted 4-star charity on Charity Navigator. Charity Water finds the best sustainable solution (e.g. wells, piped systems, biosand filters, etc.) at each location, coordinates sanitation and hygiene training, and establishes a local Water Committee so that residents have clean drinking water for life. 100% of public donations are sent to local partners on the ground, who build and implement the projects. When the projects are completed, charity: water proves every one of them using GPS coordinates, photos and details of the community served.

The Problem: 1 in 10 people lack access to clean water. Hundreds of millions of women and children are walking for miles every day to gather water that is not even clean. Some of them are even raped or otherwise attacked on their walks. Children cannot attend school due to all the time spent gathering water, as well as the time (hopefully) recovering from the water-borne illnesses. Every day, children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But I believe that we will live to see the day when everyone has access to clean water. Please help make this dream come alive.
