This year I'm celebrating my birthday differently. I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water.

Women and children around the world walk hours every day to collect water for their families,...and the worst part? The water they collect can make them really sick. Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday.

I am deeply grateful for the abundant clean water that pours from my tap, so my birthday wish this year is to make a difference for a family who does not have access to clean water.

The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects around the world.

I can't ask for a better birthday present!
