On September 4th, I'm turning 20. And this year, I'm sharing my birthday with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.
charity: water is celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.
So to help, I'm giving up my birthday gifts and asking for $20 from everyone I know. That's a $20 bill that could of course be used to buy a new DVD or to go out to eat. But, instead I'm asking you give it to charity: water for their birthday, an in turn provide them with a new drilling rig so that they can bring clean water to the mouths of thousands more people in the future. 100% of this money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.
That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way!
Join me -- each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.
