My Goal

• Right now, 1.1 billion people on the planet don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us.
• Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years.
• Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
• Many people in the developing world, usually women and children, walk more than three hours every day to fetch water that is likely to make them sick. Those hours are crucial, preventing many from working or attending school. Additionally, collecting water puts them at greater risk of sexual harassment and assault. Children are especially vulnerable to the consequences of unsafe water.
• Of the 42,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation, 90% are children under 5 years old.
• $5,000 can build a freshwater well in a village and provide 250+ people with clean drinking water.

• My goal is to raise $5,000 for Charity: water... enough money to build one well.  How will I do it?  Simple... one photograph at a time!
