This started as a school project to promote water stewardship but after learning more about charity: water, I was inspired to take action. Did you know that 663 million people in the world don't have access to clean water? Diseases in water kill more people than all forms of violence including even war. And 43% of those deaths are children under 5.

I decided to start a campaign for my upcoming 12th birthday. People often give someone well wishes and presents for birthdays, so my campaign is to forward my gifts and well wishes to those in need. My campaign is ”My Wish For You” and I hope to raise money so that more people can have access to clean water. A lot of people spend much of their time trying to get water that isn’t even clean. This wastes time when they could be doing something else like working or going to school, plus, it still leaves them with less water than what they need. This water is used by animals and it can easily transmit diseases that cause hazardous health problems, which is why having clean water is so important. This is why my wish for millions around the world is to have access to clean water that they can use.

So instead of presents, I’m asking people to donate $12 or any amount to this campaign. It will be a huge help!

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.

Thank you!
