Why Caitlin Surdi is fundraising for clean water

On August 28th, I'm turning 25. And this year, I don't want presents or drinks. I want clean water. Every year people ask me what I want for my birthday and I always have to think of random things that I don't really need. Well this is something that I don't necessarily need, but that other people need - a need that I would LOVE for you to help me fulfill.

Women and children in Rwanda walk for hours every day, up and down mountains, just to collect water from rivers that can make them really sick.

Terrible right? Well, we can actually do something about it. Just $65 can give one person in Rwanda clean water.

So I'm asking everyone for my age in donations. Give $25 or $250 and help me give life's most basic need.

The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects in the Rwanda, and when those projects are complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the impact we made. I can't think of a better birthday gift. Join me!
