Why Mark Oehlman is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. We're gonna help change that!

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be 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. 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.

Pirate Coast Paddle Company is not only passionate about paddle boarding, we're also committed to using our small business to CHANGE THE WORLD by bringing clean water to the 1 billion people who are living without it.

In 2010 we did our first Paddle for Water, and raised $5,300, and built our first clean water well in the Central African Republic.

Paddle for Water 2012, raised $11,120 which will build 2 water wells for villages in dire need, bringing clean and safe drinking water to over 500 people.

But, we're not stoping- Paddle for Water 2014 is here! It begins with this campaign, and ends with a beach party on May 24th, 2014.

Let's CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER.

DONATE HERE:

Please donate to our campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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