My birthday is September 11th.
For the past 10 years, this day has been associated with sorrow. I want to take back my birthday. I want a birthday of hope!
So this year, I'm giving my birthday up.
I'm turning 37 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $37 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater projects for people in developing nations.
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. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.
My birthday wish this year is to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. Even if everyone just gave $5, we could make a huge difference!
Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
Please help take back my birthday!
Happy belated birthday, Mary!
Happy birthday, Mary. :)
