This year, I'm giving my birthday up.
I'm turning 36 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $36 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.
A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.
My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts for me; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.
Please join me.
please note: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
36 is a magical number for you & your family but because of your generosity its going to be pretty special to a bunch of other people as well. I don't have to know you to know that its a great thing your doing & I hope this helps. Obviously happy birthday as well. kswaterman
