Yo, it's 2016 and a whole bunch of people still don't have access to clean water. What's up with that?

Think about being thirsty for a second. And then think about going to the sink, turning it on, and dirty brown water comes out. That sucks.

It's like that. But always. And instead of a sink, you have to walk a few miles to the nearest body of water and carry back that 40 pounds of dirty water.

If you're not already convinced, take a couple minutes to check out the video down there on the left.

charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects. When they complete those projects, they'll send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made.

You can't imagine how dope it is to get that email.

Please donate to my campaign -- I'm asking for $24 for my 24th birthday, but anything you can give is a huge help.
