goal
800 million people in the world are living without access to clean water. In honor of my Mom, let's change that!
My birthday is around the corner. I don’t usually ask for presents, but this year I’ve decided to make an exception. I’m asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water through the Elly's WElly campaign in honor of my Mom, Ellen Weiss Kander to give clean water to people who need it, instead of giving me gifts.
Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.
100% of every dollar you donate to the Elly's WElly campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.
Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to Elly's WElly campaign in honor of my Mom!
Ben, In honor of your beautiful Mom (who is so proud of the great work you're doing!!) Today and everyday!! XOXO Michelle Boyaner & Barbara Green
Such a beautiful gesture to memorialize such a beautiful person.
