Hey guys I'm turning 25 this year, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for donations from everyone I know. It's not going to me though (that will be a separate cause). All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.

If you guys can please try to donate whatever is in your means. The site breaks down exactly how the money you donate will be distributed. My goal is to reach 500 bucks, so i'm hoping those of you with jobs through down those big bills :)

Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
