goal
Many people around the world don’t have simple access to clean water. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.
I never though I could really do much about it, but then I came across this charity that provides simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
I thought that giving you guys an opportunity to join me in actually impacting peoples lives in a fundamental and transformative way would be a much more fulfilling way to celebrate my birthday than having a party and getting gifts.
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
This is the story I heard that made me want to skip celebrating my birthday and instead use it to donate to Charitywater.
It comes from a video about storytelling.
This is the first story I heard about how difficult it is to live without easy access to clean water, both physically and emotionally.
