I am turning 30 early 2017, and I wanted to use the significance of a 30th birthday to do something significant for people who can't even enjoy a glass of clean water on their birthday. I know it's not the easiest of times to give some spare money, after Christmas and all, but even $5 can make a HUGE difference in someone's life. You can totally skip that cup of coffee tomorrow for someone to have a glass of clean water for many years to come, can't you?

The $2200 USD goal is the equivalent of a $3000 AUD goal (30, 3000, get it? ;D).

Thank you very much!

And here is the text provided by charity: water for more information:

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.

Please donate to my campaign – anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
