Why Greg Holden is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. I know we can all change that.

Today is my birthday. The best gift I can ask for is for the kindness of others to be given to people who need it the most. I recently learned that millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. But I'm not telling you how old I am, so you'll just have to guess. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

It would mean the world to me if you'd consider donating to my birthday campaign!
