goal
Let's celebrate my Dirty Thirtieth Birthday by bringing clean and sustainable drinking water to our global neighbors! 30 of those neighbors, to be exact - please chip in whatever you can for this refreshing cause.
Y'all know me, I don't usually ask for presents, but I do love a nice, cold beer. So, instead of sharing a celebratory birthday brew or two with me, donate what a beer (or more!?) would cost you towards this charity : water campaign! This year is our biggest goal yet with a $900 aim. In past campaigns, we've already raised over $4000 (!!!!!!!) that've gone directly to communities in Malawi, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Niger, and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish this year.
Why water? It's simple. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. It's a staggering fact that nearly 663 million people in the world live without clean water, which is about 1 in 10 people worldwide - or, twice the population of the United States. Beyond simply endangering lives, not having access to clean water means a direct impact on education and income - especially for women and kids. 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 - all of which charity : water helps to implement!
But seriously, round six!? Why do I keep doing these campaigns year after year? Because 100% of the money donated 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. It's SO. FREAKIN'. AWESOME!
Thank you for taking the time to read, hopefully you've been inspired to pitch in. Cheers, friends!
Happy Birthday! What a great cause and to know you’re making a difference in the world. Mother Earth is a better place because of you.
Fantastic cause. We take it for granted so often
