We always get so caught up in our own “busy” lives and don’t realize that there are billions of people not living with the commodities we take for granted.

This year, I'm giving my birthday up so that, along with everyone that donates, a difference can be made.

I'm turning 19 years old and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $19 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me; all of it is going to build freshwater projects for people in developing countries. My birthday wish this year is to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion people living without it.

100% of all donations go directly toward water projects. And about 18 months after this campaign ends, charity: water will show us where and how every dollar we raised ended up helping in the field. We'll see GPS coordinates, photos and more details about the communities we've impacted.

Please join me!
