I'm turning 36 in January, and for my birthday I'd like to do something different.

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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

So this birthday, instead of gifts I'd like to encourage friends and family to give $36 to charity: water.

Please donate to my campaign, it doesn’t have to be $36—anything you can give is a huge help.

To sweeten the deal, if you donate any amount I will also letter your name or phrase of choice, and post it to social media. If you send me an email once you’ve donated (info@quakercreative.com) I will mail you the finished piece.

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.

Please feel free to share this page on social media and encourage as many people as you can to help get clean water to people who need it.
