We have access to clean water daily. 800 million people can't say the same. Let's come together and change that!

On my birthday, I don’t usually ask for presents, but this year I’ve decided to do something different. I’m asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it.

I heard about this campaign last year in one of my classes and it stuck with me. I love clean water, you love clean water. Let's make it happen for someone else. Every day, 5,000 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. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Let's come together and do something GREAT! Let's give a village the taste of some quench-thirsting birthday water -- donate to my campaign!

"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 2:4-5

(The amount for this campaign will bring 10 people clean water. I think that is a great dent in the efforts.)
