On October 8, I'm turning 12. And this year, I'm sharing my birthday with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.
charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.
So to help, I'm giving up my birthday gifts and asking for $12 from everyone I know. 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.
That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way! Each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.
What a great way to celebrate your birthday--cheers to clean drinking water!
Thanks everyone for donating clean water for my birthday!! Love, Riley
