Why Ben Ray is fundraising for clean water

On October 3rd, I'm turning 34. And this year, I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water.

Women and children in Rwanda walk for hours every day, up and down mountains, just to collect water from rivers. And the worst part? The water they collect can make them really sick.

Terrible right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $65 can give someone in Rwanda clean water.

I saw this first hand when I had the privilege of visiting Rwanda 2 years ago. As most of you know, I fell in love with the people and have a passion to help them in any way I can.

So I'm asking everyone for my age in donations. Give what you can and help me give life's most basic need.

The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects in Rwanda, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I can't think of a better birthday gift. Join me!
