Why Vanessa Christensen is fundraising for clean water

On December 31st I made a life changing decision.

On that day when we all vow to chang something about our own life, I vowed to change something about someone elses. I pleged to look out side my own bubble and get involved with the world around me. To make my life matter more. Now that my 21's birthday is approaching I'm asking everyone to help make my dream come true.

All of my birthdays have been about stuff. Stuff I don't want, stuff I definitely don't need.

So this year, I'm giving my birthday up.

Instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $21 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

A billion people in the world are living without clean water. Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

please note:100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
