Why Holly Cukier is fundraising for clean water

Please donate in honor of my 36th birthday!

My birthday is around the corner. I don’t usually ask for presents, but this year I’ve decided to make an exception. I’m asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it, instead of giving me gifts. This is an amazing and worthy cause that I learned about in 2011 when I heard about Rachel Beckwith - a girl who did the same sort of campaign for her 9th birthday. Rachel never made it to her 10th birthday and, in her honor, $1.2 million dollars were raised. Inspired and awed by her selflessness, especially at such a young age, I am asking for your help in my own campaign.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.

Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign!
