Why Carolyn Roberts is fundraising for clean water

There are 748 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

It's my birthday and I'm really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities I've been given and the travels I've accomplished. However, because of those travels, I've seen first-hand extreme poverty. I want to help change that. This year, I want to use my birthday as a reason to bring some good to the world. 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. I want us to change the world by changing it for as many individuals as possible.

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 21 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!
