Why David Blanton is fundraising for clean water

On September 7th, I'm turning 27. My dog Merlin is also having his 11th birthday in September. Where we live Merlin and I have better access to water than Millions of people around the world. To do something about that we are sharing our birthdays with charity: water.

charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.

So to help, we're giving up our birthday gifts and asking for $27 from everyone I know. 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.

That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way!

Join us -- each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.
