Kaushal & Jayme’s Clean Water Fundraiser
Tax deductible
703 million people in the world live without clean water.
But access to clean water means education, income and health - especially for women and kids.
Access to clean water gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school -- all of which fight poverty.
Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don’t have to stay home for a week out of every month.
Women and girls are responsible for water collection in 8 out of 10 households with water off premises.
When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.
charity : water™️ works with local experts and community members to find the best sustainable solution in each place where we work, whether it’s a well, a piped system, a BioSand Filter, or a system for harvesting rainwater. And with every water point we fund, our partners coordinate sanitation and hygiene training, and establish a local Water Committee to help keep water flowing for years to come.
