There are 748 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

My birthday is almost here. I asked The Lord to give me a more mission-minded heart, and He led me to charity: water. I learned that millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. Jesus describes himself as the living water. I have been immensely blessed with an abundant, available amount of water for the last 17 years, and now wish to love on others in the name of Jesus by giving them clean water, too.

I'm asking for my age in dollars (17) from everyone I know. 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, and give clean drinking water to those in desperate need of it. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
