I've never been too fond of celebrating birthdays. I guess I just consider it like any other normal day and I really dislike being the center of attention.

So when I found out about Charity Water and how I could make my birthday be about something that really mattered, of course I joined them.

Help me make a difference and bring clean water to those who need it the most! Instead of getting me a gift, donate to this campaign. It doesn't matter how much, any amount will be more than welcomed!

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, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.

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.
