People don't have clean water. Not just a few towns in California, but 800 million people around the world.

You guys, there are people right now who literally don't have clean water. It's 2014 and that's still a thing.

Isn't that crazy? Women and children have to walk hours every day to collect water for their families. They can't work. They can't go to school. Their whole day is spent walking miles to get water and then hauling 40 pounds of water on their back all the way back home. And the water they collect isn't even clean -- it can make them really sick.

Terrible right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $20 can give a person clean water to drink. And if you donate now someone will match your donation!

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 those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I can't think of a better birthday gift.
