Sydney's 16th Birthday
organized by Sydney DuPree
Help Sydney give the gift of clean water. 100% of every donation raised will fund charity: water's work providing access to clean water projects around the world.
$617.25

$500
goal
Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!
But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.
This year I am asking that instead of gifts for my sixteenth birthday, each person donates $10 or your best gift towards clean water projects around the world
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
Hello everyone!
I hope you are all doing well, I know it's been a while since I last updated you on my Charity Water project. It's hard to believe we conducted this campaign TWO YEARS ago, it really feels like just yesterday! Again, I'm so thankful for each and every one of your contributions and I'm so proud of the outcome.
We were able to provide clean water in Yarangabougou, Mali West Africa for 200 people! Thanks to you this school was able to receive waterpoint and sanitation facilities. You can find GPS coordinates, pictures, and more details about the project here at https://my.charitywater.org/projects/246-119?campaign_id=1049381# or check out my campaign page at https://my.charitywater.org/sydneyd/16th-birthday and click "View Project"
Ok lol, I'm officially done spamming your email! Thank you, thank you, thank you, this is still the best birthday gift I could have ever received. Love you guys <3
Sydney DuPreeHello everyone!!
I just wanted to update you on my Charity Water project from my 16th birthday last year. Our funds are at work in Mali, West Africa!!
Mali is a landlocked country with vast deserts and a long dry-season where many people lack access to clean water and sanitation. It's one of the poorest countries in the world and has both a high risk of infectious disease and the world’s eighth highest infant mortality rate, at 77.6 deaths per 1000 live births.For families in Mali, the first step out of poverty begins with clean water.
I will let you know when I get more information (in about 11 months) and a full report including photos and GPS coordinates so we can see exactly who we helped. Again, thank you so much for your donations :) I pray that God continues to bless you all for your generosity and big hearts <3
