Why Emma Snowdon-Jones is fundraising for clean water

My lovely friends,
This is 8th charity: water birthday campaign (hence the picture of little me) this year we are offering to do something crazy to get more donations...well, I will offer something sane:
If I reach 15 thousand I will quit smoking.
Just think with every dollar you will be saving lives and, if I reach my goal, you may save my life too!

I can talk crazy if you prefer. You wanna talk about crazy?

663 million people on this planet don’t have access to clean water. That’s 1 in 11 of us!

That means 1 out of 11 people in our world is drinking water that comes from a river, lake or muddy hole in the ground every day. Dirty, contaminated water that has leeches and debris in it. Water that causes disease, keeps kids out of school and takes hours to bring back home.

What’s NOT crazy is doing something to help. I joined charity: water’s September Campaign this year because I believe that every person on the planet deserves clean water, and I’m looking for anyone who can help me.

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

You can give a little or you can give a lot. The craziest thing we can do is nothing.
