Every day, 1,400 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

22 has always been the year where I thought my life would truly begin. A lot changed for me at 22, I got married and moved to a new country! But I couldn't be more excited for 23. I know this is going to be a big year for me! I've been receiving presents for the last 22 years and I want to do something different this year. I want to give back.

Imagine if you had no clean water. Imagine walking hours to the nearest river to collect water for your family -- water that's not even clean. Imagine giving that water to your kids.

While this might seem unimaginable to us, it’s a reality for 748 million people in developing countries.

After learning more about charity: water’s work, I know we can make a difference in the global water crisis. I'm supporting charity: water to help build clean water projects for people in need.

Please help me by donating on this page.

Please help me be donating on this page instead of giving me a gift. I have so much, the least I could do is give a little back.

100% of the money we raise will go directly to water project costs, funding long-lasting clean water solutions for people in need. When the projects are finished, charity: water will show us the exact communities we’ve helped using photos and GPS coordinates.

If 44 of my friends donate $23 (£13.86) I'll meet my goal! English friends, pounds go a long way in dollars!

So please make my birthday wish come true and help give clean water!
