Why Matt-Laura Taylor is fundraising for clean water

There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

I don't usually ask for birthday presents, but this year 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.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 2,200 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.

Because charity: water funds their operating costs through a group of private donors, 100% of every dollar you donate will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries.

Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign!
