The holidays: a time for family, comfort and love.

This Christmas, we're taking a step back. This Christmas, we want to give more than gifts that fit in boxes.

We want to give people life.

800 million people are living without clean drinking water on our planet. Some walk miles every day to get to the nearest source: a stagnant, parasite-infested stream or pond. They lug it back to their families. They suffer from diarrheal disease, worms and skin problems because they can't wash. About 30,000 people die each week from water-related diseases. Most are kids under five years old!

100% of every dollar we raise will go directly to water projects. And when the projects are complete, charity: water will show us GPS coordinates, photos and other details about the communities we've helped. Together, we'll be able to see the impact we've made.

800 million people, one cause. The least we can do is give one Christmas.

In the spirit of Christmas, we wanted to give instead of receive. Helping to provide clean water is our way of expressing that which we are thankful for in our lives.
