April 18th marks a popular Indian festival called Akshay Tritiya. It is believed to be a very auspicious day to start new ventures and apparently anything done on this day lasts forever ("Akshay" means that which is never destroyed). People get married, buy jewelry and houses or start new businesses on this day. Water is soon going to be as precious as gold or more. I would like to celebrate this festival with a wish that we never run out of clean water. Please join me in giving the gift of clean water to others in the world. Donate and track how your donations are being used.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
