goal
On September 12, I'm turning 34. And this year, I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water.
When I spent time in Liberia 15 years ago, I saw how aweful the water was and the ponds that a number of villages used to get their water from. This happens all over the world, including Rwanda.
Women and children in Rwanda walk for hours every day, up and down mountains, just to collect water from rivers. And the worst part? The water they collect can make them really sick.
Terrible right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $65 can give someone in Rwanda clean water.
So I'm asking everyone for my age in donations. Give $34 or whatever your hearts desire and help me give life's most basic need.
The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects in the Rwanda, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I can't think of a better birthday gift. Join me!
