Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. I'm gonna help change that!

Last year I saw my friend Neena George and her pledge for clean water that made me think to do something like that the coming year for my birthday. And the year is here. I am so proud of her doing such a wonderful thing. Following her footstep, here I am trying to raise a fund for clean water and I call this as "AQUA". Friends, please help me in raising this fund. I need your help with this. Any amount, may it be 1$, it will help. Thank you in advance.

My life funda is SIMPLE. I am not a fan of any material objects, but I do have a dream to do something different. I hope this will be a stepping stone for my dream and I will make it happen no matter what and pretty sure I will get lot of help.

My birthday is around the corner. I don’t usually ask for presents, but this year I’ve decided to make an exception. 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, 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.

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