Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I heard about this charity a few months ago when I listened to a podcast for North Point Community Church called "Voices: Keeping Up Appearances." The man behind this charity shared his story - and I was so inspired I wanted to give up my birthday to help others too! (I am hoping this means I won't get any older!)

I would love you to support by giving a small donation... If you planned on buying me a card (and I'm not presuming you were but just in case) then $5 would be awesome, if you were going to message me on Facebook or via email then $2 would be perfect.... Any donation would send me a clear message of - 'Have a Happy Birthday Keryn"...

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
