Why Rebecca Sachs is fundraising for clean water

Hey loves,
It's been a while since my last campaign and it's always been wonderful how much support you always give. Back in November I started with many of you sharing meditations of loving kindness with promises of charity & activism to come. I know we all have been making donations for the holidays, calling representatives, getting ready for the marches across the nation in two weeks. But the real test is when we give without a holiday, just because and when we try to correct an injustice without the crowd around us. Can you give up coffee for one week and donate $10 in place of your latte???

...We are blessed to have plenty of water to drink, to wash our clothes, even to flush our toilets with! To be a woman in 2017 is an amazing thing, but I think of the all the girls and women who must miss school or put themselves in danger of gender-based violence during a trek to get clean drinking water or be forced to face the prospect of real sickness from a local sip.

You may remember from my other campaigns that 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.
