Dear friends,

This time last year, you donated almost $400 to charity:water, providing clean drinking water to 19 people. How amazing is that?

charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.

I am asking you to join me in this endeavor and to match what was donated last year, if not exceed it.

100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.

charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way. Each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.

Imagine that. From helping 19 people to being a part of bringing clean water to 40,000 people.

Thanks so much for your constant love & support,

Kathy
