Why Liz Marsh is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

As I start my Jesus year, I'm contemplating how to be in the world and contribute to my larger, human family. Instead of walking on water, I will be celebrating my birthday by walking for water...

Imagine if you had no clean water. Imagine walking hours to the nearest river to collect water for your family -- water that's not even clean. Imagine giving that water to your kids.

While this might seem unimaginable to us, it’s a reality for 748 million people in developing countries.

On Saturday May 23rd, I will be walking across DC, my community, to raise money for this important charity. Please consider joining me literally by walking with me on my journey or by contributing to my campaign. It's the best birthday gift you could give me this year!

100% of the money I/we raise will go directly to water project costs, funding long-lasting clean water solutions for people in need. When the projects are finished, charity: water will show us the exact communities we’ve helped using photos and GPS coordinates.

Please join us and help give clean water!
