Why Ben Shelton is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses.

My birthday is almost here! I recently learned that millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

We've supported charity: water in the past, and really trust and respect the organization. I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
