Why Jacqueline Yeung is fundraising for clean water

The world is a mess.

People are sick. Starving. Poor. Every day I read or hear about it in the news. There are so many people who need help. There are so many causes and so much to do.

I've had it pretty good in life. I don't want to sit by and just do nothing, so I picked one cause I think everyone can agree on. I'm working to give people something they absolutely cannot do without -- the most basic of health needs.

I want to give people clean drinking water.

More than a billion people don't have access to safe drinking water. I don't mean that their pipes don't work; I mean that they have to walk hours each day to collect dirty water from stagnant ponds and muddy rivers. And the crazy thing is that for so many of them, clean water runs in aquifers under their homes and villages. But they don't have the drilling equipment or the money to reach it.

Just $5,000 can build a clean water project to serve a community of 250 people. My goal is to raise $20,000 towards a project in the next three months to save 1,000 lives.

There's a lot of need in the world. I'm starting here. Will you join me?
