On October 26th Ellie is turning 7 and on October 27th Abbie is turning 5. And this year, they're sharing their birthdays with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.

charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.

So to help, Ellie and Abbie are giving up their birthday gifts and asking for $7 or $5... or combine the two ages and give $12! 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.

That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way!

Join them -- each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.

Way to go Ellie and Abbie!
