800 million people live without access to clean water. This affects women and children most. Let's change that!

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be really 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. Women and children spend hours every day walking to and from wells to collect clean water. This prevents children from attending school and women from pursuing opportunities to earn money with which to support their families. And every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.

We started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and we’re looking for anyone who can help.

***Please donate something – even the smallest amount you can give helps. ***An ocean is only a vast accumulation of lots of tiny drops.***

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
