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 last year I decided to do something different. I asked all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who needed it. Now, every year on my birthday, I am making the commitment to use my birthday as an opportunity to ask friends and family to bring birthday water to others around the world.

I heard about this campaign two years ago 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. Soon after, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 21 months), so we can put a name to the communities that we have helped.

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 7 people clean water.)
