On the last day of November I will turn 27! Please help me celebrate by donating $27 (or more, or less) to charity: water! 100% of your donation will go toward bringing clean water to people in developing nations.

I don't usually like to broadcast my birthday, but I was encouraged by my sister, Alexa, to give up my birthday for a good cause! So, friends, family, or even strangers, I don't need shoes or scarves this year - but you can help someone who needs clean water. Last year I donated to Alexa's birthday campaign and I saw where the wells were built in Ethiopia and Malawi! It was so exciting to be able to make a difference in places I've never been.

I tried to count how many times a day I turn on a tap - I lost count after a shower, washing my hands, brushing my teeth, rinsing out dishes, and filling several glasses of water to drink. I could do this all before going to work or school, because I don't have to walk 3 hours for clean water. Please consider donating to help children, mothers, families, and communities to grow and flourish by providing them with the basic necessity of clean water!
