Why Matthew McGrath is fundraising for clean water

There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

My birthday is almost here. I'm not usually one to celebrate elaborately, but I'm really thankful to have clung to Earth for another flight around the Sun. Anyway, there millions of kids around the world who barely make five flights because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from you, Poozers. (I'm making a $33 donation, but don't feel compelled to do the same. Donate what you can.) Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, Charity Water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
