Why Christopher VanBerg is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

My birthday is almost here. This year I'm really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year. If you follow my posts, you know how important water is to me and maybe for you. I know 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.

If any of my posts have ever helped you or a family member, I'm requesting for you to donate my age in dollars. 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!
