Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. 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.

Coraline has all the toys and clothes that she needs. For her birthday, please help us to improve the lives of other children in this world who aren't as lucky as she is. As she gets older, she'll also get a chance to see photos of the wells she has helped to build, hopefully inspiring her to continue to help those that are less fortunate. Last year, we raised over $400 dollars that are currently at work in Mali! This year, help us to raise a little bit more!

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
