By replacing birthday candles with clean water for people in need, we can bring a lot more light to the world.

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.

Birthdays are a special time for us to celebrate life. Help me in giving a better quality of life and more birthdays to others this year by donating to my campaign. Just as birthday candles light up a room, clean water lights up a life. Whatever you have to give is very much appreciated. Every drop counts!

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. Thank you for making this birthday extra special.
