Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

Our family knows first-hand the effects of drinking dirty water. Our daughters came home from Ethiopia with several types of potentially life-threatening parasites that were likely caused by drinking contaminated water. Where they lived, the only source of water was a filthy stream.

When we saw that we could start a campaign to fund a water project in their birth country of Ethiopia AND that the Keurig Green Mountain is currently matching all donations, we knew we couldn't pass up this opportunity!

Not only will your donation be DOUBLED, but because charity: water has private donors who cover overhead costs, 100% of your donation will be used for our water project!!!

There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand Filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world. And when our project is complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

Some thoughts from our six year old on why our family is passionate about clean water: "Because there's germs in the other water, and we don't want them to get sick. Some people can die. We need to care for other people. Because it's what God wants us to do. Because it's the right thing to do."

Please consider donating to our campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help!
