Hi, my name is Nyjah Huston and I’m a 17-year-old professional skateboarder. Some people might wonder how I became involved with a water charity since it is not a typical skate-related cause. I can tell you that I lived through some unique experiences while growing up that taught me the importance of something we might all take for granted - clean, safe water. For me, it was a temporary situation to live without clean, running water, but for 1 out of 7 people in the world, they don't have a choice. These are the people who we want to help.
For my 18th birthday on November 30, it’s my goal to raise $18,000 for our charity, LET IT FLOW, focusing on the regions of Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania.
There are currently 1 billion people in the world who live without clean drinking water. More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation and hygiene-related causes. It is not about ABSENCE of water, but ACCESS to water. You see, in most places the water is under the ground, but they do not have the tools or technology to tap into the natural water supply. Building wells is a simple solution to saving lives and making a huge difference for people living in extreme poverty.
100% of the profits raised will go to the following:
- Building clean-water wells
- Repairing inoperable wells
- Building sanitation facilities
- Providing hygiene education
I’m excited to be raising this money through crowdfunding and looking forward to giving back to you through any of the cool perks we are offering.
Any type of donation will help make it count! If you donate by 12/17, I'll make sure to have your perk fulfilled before Christmas!
