Imagine your life with no clean water. Imagine being born into a community where you have to walk 3 to 4 hours a day to gather dirty water and bring it home in heavy Jerry Cans. And then carefully choose the most essential uses for the little water you have.

Most of us reading this have never had to worry about this basic human need. Water has always been there, flowing clean from our taps and in seemingly endless supply. Yet about 663 million people still live without clean water (about 1 out of 10 people).

Women & girls are often the ones making long treks to fill 5-gallon Jerry Cans (weighing 40 lbs. when full) with unsafe water. Given access to clean water in their community, they could redirect that valuable time towards education and other empowering opportunities.

charity: water is dedicated to solving this crisis. Since 2006, they've helped 9.5 million people gain access to clean water, better hygiene, and improved sanitation. They're determined to keep working until every person on earth has clean water.

And we're all invited to join. For just $30, you can bring one person clean water. (Which sparks a beautiful chain reaction of better health, education, empowerment, business opportunities, etc.)

So this year for my 34th birthday, let's bring 34 people clean water. Let's spark some positive chain reactions in the world. 100% of your public donations go directly to the field. And here's the fun part - after completion, we'll get photos and GPS coordinates from the project we helped fund so you can see the direct impact of your gift.

Water changes everything. Let's be a part of the solution. Together.

Thanks for reading & cultivating change.
