I'm donating my 21st birthday to help build water projects with charity water.

Why?

663 million people don't have access to clean water. That means 1 out of 11 people in our world is drinking water that comes from a river, lake or muddy hole in the ground every day. Dirty, contaminated water that has leeches and debris in it. Water that causes disease, keeps kids out of school and takes hours to bring back home. 90% of the 30,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and unhygienic living conditions are in children under five years old.

I wanted to do something of value to celebrate my twenty one years of life so far. That is why I joined charity: water’s September Campaign this year because I believe that every person on the planet deserves clean water, and I’m looking for anyone who can help me.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects for people in need, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

You can give a little or you can give a lot. For $20 you can give someone clean water. I'm asking that each person donates $1 for every year I've lived. That's $21 to change someones life forever. Water changes everything.
