goal
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, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.
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.

Hey Everybody!
I just found out today that your money is going to..... MALI!
Why Mali?
Well, per charity: water... "Mali is a landlocked country with vast deserts and a long dry-season where many people lack access to clean water and sanitation. It's one of the poorest countries in the world and has both a high risk of infectious disease and the world’s eighth highest infant mortality rate, at 77.6 deaths per 1000 live births. For families in Mali, the first step out of poverty begins with clean water."
OK, so what's next?
Thanks to you, c: w's partner organization, World Vision, Inc., is busy working on 126 projects. When those projects are complete, we'll get GPS coordinates, photos, and other details about each community that will show the impact you’ve made in Mali.
Go, you!And stay tuned for more!
