Millions of children never live to see their 5th birthday…because they don’t have access to clean, safe water. As I approach my 25th birthday, changing this statistic [little by little] is what matters most to me.

Almost a billion people in the world are living without clean water -- but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 30,000 people will die this week alone. Women around the world spend over 200 million hours EVERY DAY collecting [dirty] water.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to the billion living without it. With your help, I hope to give 25 people access to clean water.

The best part: 100% of all donations go directly toward water projects. And about 18 months after this campaign ends, charity: water will show us where and how every dollar we raised ended up helping in the field. We'll see GPS coordinates, photos and more details about the communities we've impacted.

Please join me. Every little bit helps…there’s no shortage of ways you can make a difference.

Love,
Kelsey
