Why Drake Shipway is fundraising for clean water

Every day 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!!

I’m turning 21, and I am excited to continue the tradition of using my birthday to raise awareness about the global water crisis. This is my fourth annual charity: water birthday drive, and over the past three years, together we have raised $2,256. Let’s try to make this the biggest and best year yet!

Did you know that almost a BILLION people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 1,400 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!
