"We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one."
-- Jacques Yves Cousteau

"You cannot have peace without human rights, democracy, gender equality, and clean water. Look to the root causes of war and you will find, in their reverse, the root foundations of peace."
-- Cora Weiss

These quotes illustrate how important water is to life. Water is a catalyst for healthy, safe and educated communities. It's time for everyone to enjoy the profound impact of clean water.

I'm about to turn 31 and once again I'd like to dedicate my birthday to charity: water. Please help me raise $310 which is enough to provide 15 people with access to clean drinking water. Every dollar helps, please give whatever you can. Let's make a difference this September.

Love, Katherine

Notice: 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.
