Why Matthew Eckstein is fundraising for clean water

Please donate to my 40th birthday campaign and help bring clean water to those who need it.

With the big 4-0 looming, I have recently thought about my life and how fortunate I am. Every day my new job at charity: water allows me to work with amazing people, face interesting engineering challenges, and brings clean drinking water to over 3,000 new people. I am also fortunate knowing my daughter will always have access to the basic necessities in a world where 1,400 children under five die of water-related illnesses each day.

I'm asking all my friends and family to donate to this campaign for my 40th birthday to bring clean drinking water to the people who need it the most.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in the developing world. charity: water's operating costs are funded separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

Additionally, we have a corporate sponsor who is matching every dollar so your donation will help twice as many people get access to clean water.

If you aren't familiar with the global water crisis, you can read about it here on our website.

I appreciate you helping to celebrate my 40th by donating to this cause which has become very important to me.

Thank you!
