“It always seems impossible until it's done.” — Nelson Mandela
Did you know?
Almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
Why am I doing this?
I've been inspired by some talented peers of mine whom have set up charities for the recent holidays to raise funds for clean drinking water. After donating, I read about pledging a birthday… Since I normally do not celebrate or ask for gifts, what better way to spend a birthday than helping out others?
Where does your money go?
100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.
mekk'n!
Growing up I would visit my family in Central America. They sometimes disinfect water so that they can use it to cook food or drink it. Many homes do not have running water, so there is a reserve of water that is used to clean dishes, to cook, to wash yourself. Having clean water is something that every human being should have.
Wanted to hit over $1000 ;P
Meggan has partially funded 3 projects.
