Hello, friends and family, it's Leon here!

I am turning 3 soon. Instead of traditional birthdays, would you join with me in giving clean water to babies around the world? Above is a photo of me when I was 343 days old. Most of us are so blessed to never have to think about clean water and 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.

My family helped me to start this birthday challange to help charity water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. Since it's my 3rd birthday, would you consider giving in multiples of 3?

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.

Thanks so much for celebrating my birthday in a super meaningful way. May your kindness be returned to you and more.

Cheers,
Leon Tan
