Why Nitya Oberoi is fundraising for clean water

Water changes everything. Help make clean water accessible.

My birthday is almost here. I'm not usually excited about getting older, but this year I'm really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year. After traveling through a less fortunate part of the world for 5 months over the past year, I have a growing respect for people that live in these countries - despite access to the bare minimum of resources such as shelter, food & water. Millions of kids around the world don't even live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

If shelling out bucks for charity isn't your thing, then take the time to think about how much water you use today, and try to minimize its wastage. Let's not give in to the tragedy of the commons and acknowledge that every step towards change can make a world of a difference to someone.

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
