Ever since I heard about charity: water I have been obsessed with their model. Their mission is inspiring and their transparency is compelling.

Very soon I am turning 30, and i'd love it if you'd honor me by donating $30 in this campaign. Your contribution will make a big impact, radically transforming the lives of those in most need. I'm hoping that together, for my birthday, we can provide clean water to 42 people.

Nearly 663 million people in our world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. The most amazing thing? It's 100% preventable. This is literally one of the best long-term, global investments that you can make.

Private donations cover the admin costs, so that 100% of the money you donate will be used to build clean water projects. When they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community that we've helped.

Thank you in advance for your support.
