Why Sophia Mitchell is fundraising for clean water

On February 28th I will turn 41 years old. Let's bring clean water to 41 people in celebration of my 41st birthday.

I had an opportunity to hear Charity Water's founder, Scott Harrison, speak at a conference last year. At that event I committed to using my birthday as a catalyst for bringing clean water to those who do not have it.

Think about what clean water means for you. I know I take abundant supplies of clean water for granted. My life would be a lot different if I had to worry about getting some kind of stomach bug each time I drank the water. I appreciate that I can turn on the tap in my kitchen or bathroom and get clean water. I don’t have to walk miles or hours to go to a water source of questionable quality.

100% of the money donated to Charity Water goes directly to water development projects.

Will you join me? Together, we can reach this goal.
