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

My birthday is coming up. Yay! I love birthdays, and this year I'm doing something kind of different. (Well, I'll still have cake...) I've decided to ask my friends and family to donate to charity: water.

I love water, and I use it every day for so many things. I feel grateful to be able to turn on my faucet at any time of the day and have access to clean water. Almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water. 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 every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need. (I love this.)

I love what Charity Water does, which is why I'm running this birthday campaign. My goal is to raise $4000 to support their water projects. And ANY amount will help!

I would love for you to help me by donating to this campaign!
