This year I'm giving my birthday up.

I'm turning 28 years old (ancient!) on January 11th and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $28 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater projects for people in developing countries.

If you're a fan of WordPress or any of the other projects I've been involved in, please consider contributing. If we meet the goal it'll be enough to build several wells!

The best part: 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.

Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Your donation will help change that.
