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!

This July, I turn 25, and for my birthday I'm foregoing gifts, and instead, asking friends and family to donate $25 for my 25th. My goal is to help at least 80 people get clean water and I'd love your help getting there. All donations no matter how big or small will make a massive difference -- anything you can give is a huge help.

There are 663 million people around the world living without access to clean water and 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.

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.
