Why Elba Schlottmann is fundraising for clean water

On January 9, I'm turning 43. And this year, I'm sharing my birthday with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.

charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.

So to help, I'm giving up my birthday gifts and asking for $43 from everyone I know. 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.

That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way!

Join me -- each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.
