Why Michael Birch is fundraising for clean water

When I sold Bebo 2 years ago I wanted to do something that would make a difference. I met Scott Harrison (founder) and the charity: water team and they inspired me. I wanted to help them to help others. I donated money, helped build this site and I continue to work with them to fulfill their goals to make a real difference for others who are less fortunate than ourselves.

I LIKE STATISTICS (BUT NOT THESE ONES)

5,000 children DIE every day from drinking unclean water and from poor sanitation. Over one billion people don't have access to clean water.

THIS STATISTIC IS BETTER

It costs just $20 for charity: water to provide clean water to one person for 20 years. I've seen first hand the difference that building a well for a community makes. So far they have helped over 1 million people, 0.1% of the total problem.
