Dear friends,

My birthday is approaching fast. This year, I’d like to celebrate in a different way: a fundraiser to support "charity : water" to provide accessible, clean water to those in need.

It'll mean a lot to me if you could spare some time to watch the video below. I promise you - it'll be worth the 20 mins of your life! :)

Though we might not realize, clean water is a luxury that remains out of reach for many. 1 in every 10 people in the world live without clean water. We often forget that behind these statistics are real lives.

Access to clean water gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school - all of which fight poverty. Every $1 invested in clean water can yield $4–$12 in economic returns. Yes, an ROI of >400%!

We can do something to help! There are simple solutions like drilling wells, spring protections and filters that provide clean water to communities around the world.

My birthday fundraiser will help to build these types of projects around the world.

100% of the money will go directly to build clean water projects. When completed, charity : water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community you helped.

Thank you!!

Eliza
