Why Derek Martin is fundraising for clean water

I have everything I need, but some are not as lucky so I have dedicated to donating my birthday to others. The best gift I could receive this year is your help in helping others get access to clean water, something we enjoy everyday not only on our birthday's. Help me make a small change in someones life.

----------

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 are clean

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. 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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
