Esme is richly blessed with your love and friendship. In lieu of birthday gifts, we kindly ask you consider donating to Charity Water. Donations from her previous birthdays total more than $2200 and provided 73 people with clean water FOR LIFE with wells in Mali and Mozambique. This year is really special because she was curious about water and clean water which opened up the discussion about her past birthday donations. We're humbled she chose to continue to donate her birthdays to the mission of providing people with clean water.

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.

Please donate to this 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.
