Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. We can give a little to help!

There are still many millions of people who spend their day in search of just enough water for their family to get by another day. As long as this is the case, all I want for my birthday is to commit a random act of kindness to people I've never met and help get them a steady supply of drinking water. This makes many profound changes in a person's life, for which they will be forever grateful for your help. The past two years, we've raised money that has helped fund two projects in rural Rwanda. The first project is complete, and has had a profound impact on hundreds of peoples' lives. Thank you so much to those who have helped.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from anyone who's with me on this. 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!
