Why Eric Smith is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Water is the best gift we can give!

My 30th birthday is around the corner, and to mark the occasion I wanted to do something a little different. This year, instead of gifts, I'm asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? In traveling throughout Latin America, I've seen the impact of clean water firsthand. I know we can make a small difference for even one family, or one small neighborhood.

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

Will you help me raise $1984 to make a small difference?
