If you are like me, you probably don't think too much about getting a glass of clean water when you're thirsty. I am convinced that clean water is the number one thing that we take for granted on a daily basis. However, 1 billion people in the world go without access to clean water. In fact, unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. We can make a difference! So far, charity: water has raised more than $20 million dollars and funded 3,962 wells throughout the globe.100% of the money donated goes directly to funding a water project and I encourage everyone to explore the website.

I've never actually been dying of thirst. And if you're like me, you'd like to see a world where no one does. Together, we can make a dent in the global water crisis!
