Let's face it, we actually sacrifice very little at Christmas, or whatever form of celebration we follow. But what's small to us can be huge to someone who lacks basic needs. For example, almost a billion people in the world live without clean water. That's a pretty fundamental need.<br><br>So this year, I'm giving up my Christmas. I'm asking everyone who would've bought me gifts to instead donate that money to help build clean water projects. And for those who would not normally buy me gifts, do something awesome and buy someone a glass of clean water to drink!<br><br>100% of all funds we raise go directly to the work on the ground. And when the projects are finished (in about 18 months), charity: water will show us the communities we've helped!
