The mission of september.
most of us get presents on our birthday. lots of them are things we don't really need. But in many places in the world, people don't have access to the most basic necessity: clean, safe drinking water. because charity: water was born in september, we're starting the september campaign. We're asking everyone born in september to ask for donations instead of presents for their birthdays, and help give 150,000 people in Ethiopia acess to safe, clean drinking water. learn more >
Ethiopia & the villages in need.
More than 75% of the people in Ethiopia don't have safe drinking water. We went to 33 communities to see for ourselves. We brought back photos, GPS coordinates and made 33 short films. The good news is, there is safe underground water in every village, and with your help, we can build wells in each of them.

In Shawn's words.
It takes so little of what we have to give these people access to the most fundamental need of all - clean and safe drinking water.
