There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. I'd like to change that. With you!

This topic has been really close to my heart for a while now. Knowing that so many children, mothers, fathers are struggling to be alive just because they are missing out on water- which we take for granted breaks my heart. Even though I am just a young, helpless kid alone, us together could make something big.

My birthday is around the corner. I don't usually ask for presents, but this year I've decided to make an exception. I'm asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it, instead of giving me gifts.

Almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water. A billion! 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. 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Help me make this birthday my best ever -- by donating to my campaign!
Change the world with me.
Thank you. <3

Yours always, Mariie
