The Sahel region is one of the harshest places on earth to live. We can help change that!

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 2,200 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.

The Sahel is a narrow strip of land just below the Sahara Desert in western Africa. This area is frequently affected by drought and famine, and access to clean water is rare.

This September, we plan to bring sustainable, clean water solutions to 100,000 people in two of the least developed countries in the Sahel: Mali & Niger.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
