Keke Palmer Raises Money For Clean Water Charity

[t_mcilrath]

In her time on earth, Keke Palmer has won spelling bees and become a Vice President of youth fashion at a major fashion house. 

Now at age 17, she is giving back and helping others is in the world.  On her Twitter account (@KekeInAction), Keke announced that she is raising money to bring clean water to people in Central African Republic.

Hey guys,

I have been so blessed in my life to have great parents, wonderful friends, and fantastic fans!

To be honest I never even imagined that somewhere in the world kids are dying because they do not have clean drinking water. I knew that food was a problem; kids not having enough to eat, but I just assumed that everyone at least had access to water; water is free right?...

I will be 17 on Aug 26th, I am asking friends and family instead of buying me a gift please send $17 dollars to MyCharityWater.org/KekePalmer I am asking my fans to donate only $10 (only if you can spare), and unlike a lot of charities 100% of all money collected goes straight to the community....

I have been working with charities that help children starting way back when I was in Akeelah and The Bee, but I have never done anything like this. I was just so moved by My Charity Water and wanted to help bring clean water to children, water should be clean and available to all people at least that is how I feel.

Please join me in my goal to raise $10,000 that will provide clean water to 500 people.

Keke
