Why The Charlot Family is fundraising for clean water

Hello friends and family,

I'm doing something a little different for my birthday this year. I'm giving it up so that we can make a difference!

I'm turning 31 years old, and instead of gifts or cards, I'm asking for $31 or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater projects 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. My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year. Please take a minute to watch the video to the right and join me. Thank you!!!
Love,
AnneMarie

please note: 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.

    Happy Birthday! It's too bad you're so YOUNG. If you were my age, you'd be asking for waaaay more than $31! Miss you all!
