For my 11th birthday, I would like to ask you to please donate to this clean water campaign instead of giving me a gift. Please donate whatever amount of money you would usually spend on a gift, or even more, if you'd like to make a contribution to a good cause.

Help me give clean water to the kids of the world. This organization builds water wells in developing countries so that they have easy access to fresh clean water. This gives the families a better chance of health, education, and a new life.

People in developing countries walk many hours to go to a dirty water hole, then many hours back, lugging a heavy bucket of water. When they get back from the many-hours trip, the water they bring back is not clean but is full of germs and disease.

So, they walk hours just to get water that has a chance of killing them and their family. Many women and children are deprived of education and work because they spend up to 6 hours a day getting water.

If you donate to my fundraising campaign, we can help build a clean water well for people who don't have it. Even just $20 can give one person clean water and change their life forever.

During the span of this campaign, I would like to collect $600, which can bring clean water to 30 people for life.

please note: 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.
