Two Matts. One South African, one Canadian. Both born on April 19. Neither want silly gifts this year.

Hey guys!

In lieu of gifts and such this year, we've joined forces to create the ultimate charity: water Birthday Campaign.

On April 19, Matt (SP) will turn 24 and Matt (Shore) will turn 22. Getting old, we know.

We'd love for you to help us achieve our goal of raising $500 leading up to April 19. Any amount that you can afford to donate is very much appreciated, and 100% of your donation (seriously) goes directly to helping build and support clean water infrastructure.

Thank in advance!

- Matt and Matt

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But 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.

We started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and we're looking for anyone who can help us.

Please donate to our 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.
