It's my birthday, and I know I know, you were planning on getting me a really nice present...

But instead, maybe you can get someone else the gift of clean water, and I'll get over the whole present thing...

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 thousands of 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.

Every year on my birthday I try to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who wants to open their hearts and wallets and do something good for someone else.

Please donate -- 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.
