Why Jesse Middleton is fundraising for clean water

There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water.
Please join me in changing that.

My birthday is coming up in a little over a month and while I haven't asked for presents since I was 8 years old, this year, I'm going to change that. I’m asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it.

I'm not sure if you know this but every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But with your help, charity:water and their partners can build drilled wells and install BioSand filters help provide clean water to communities around the world. In this case, 100% of your donations go to helping families in Ethiopia. Seriously, 100%!

Since I'm turning 28 years old I found it fitting to raise $2800. That means I need 100 of you to donate $28 (less than an average NYC brunch) to reach that goal!

Please donate any amount you can – $2, $28 or $280.

It may not seem like a huge amount of money but every dollar counts and goes to helping real people. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so all of your donations will go directly to people in need. When the projects that we fund are completed, charity: water sends GPS coordinates, photos and stories so we can see how our donations changed the world. I hope you'll help.

Cheers,
Jesse // @srcasm
