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. For my 16th birthday all I am asking for is donations for this amazing cause because no child should have to miss school and no women should have to walk countless hours for something as basic as clean drinking water.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build wells for villages for less fortunate than I am and by helping to create wells around the world, I know I am making a change in this 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.
