THE CHALLENGE.

At Catalyst Conference in October 2010, charity: water founder Scott Harrison challenged the entire Catalyst Community to give up their next birthday and raise money for charity: water. Throughout the year, we've been keeping track of how many birthdays you've pledged, how much money you've raised, and how many people will get clean water because of your efforts. You did some amazing work and the money you raised will help thousands of people in need get clean drinking water.

Now, we're asking you to do even more. Join us and help fund an FS 250 drilling rig for our local partner in northern Ethiopia. The FS 250 can drill 80 wells a year and provide clean drinking water to about 40,000 people.


WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I DONATE?

charity: water will use 100% of the money you raised to fund an FS 250 drilling rig. When the rig gets to the field, they'll mount a GPS device to it so you can track its progress from village to village, as it drills freshwater wells for people in northern Ethiopia.
