Another year, another birthday present!
As usual, I'm asking my friends (and non friends) to not make me any "regular" birthday gift, but instead donate to bring clean water to people in need.

My dream is to be able to collect 1k$, but I'm not sure I have enough generous friends.

I'm going back to the direct charitywater website this year as we can keep better track of how effective our money has been - they send regular updates and pictures of our funds (this wasn't possible using the FB donation feature)

Thanks a lot!
Massimo

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.

I started this fundraising campaign 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.

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.
