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!

And yet, 663 million people drink dirty water every single day, because they have no alternative. This makes them sick. In fact more people die every year from diseases they get from their drinking water than from all forms of violence combined.

But the great thing is, this water crisis is completely solvable. And therefore I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build projects around the world that bring clean water to people that otherwise will have to keep drinking dirty water.

I've created this campaign to donate my birthday to clean water. By reaching out and creating awareness. You may or may not have considered giving me a present, but what would make me really happy is if you donate to my campaign instead of buying me anything. Everything - even small donations - is a huge help. And for every $30 we raise, a person will get clean water.

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.
