Why Tiba Farahani is fundraising for clean water

What day will we pretend it is today? Taco Tuesday? Nah... It's Dance Party donate to my cause day! Its Giving Tuesday: why? Because It's December 1st: it's My Birthday, this bright, New day... Complete with 24 Hours of Opportunities, Choices and Attitudes. A perfectly Matched set of 1440 Minutes. This Unique day of Giving, This One Day, Cannot be Exchanged, Replaced or Refunded. Handle with Care. Give with Care. I'm Donating my Birthday away. Donate to my Birthday Charity. I'm asking for My Age in Dollars. 36 is the magic number. Donate what you can, and leave the presents, cakes, cupcakes, and drinky drinks for another day. Today is about Me wanting to Give.

A few weeks ago I went on this hike for the second time I was determined to finish this hike, or at least get to the main destination. The entire time my feet were hurting especially on my way back. All I kept thinking about are the people in other poor countries who walk miles and miles to get water, and if that clean water, and have to carry it over their shoulder or head. And here I was complaining about my feet hurting when I'm wearing shoes. I donated my birthday to charity water a few years ago and since that hike I decided to donate my birthday to this charity again. I researched a lot of charities but after that hike I wanted for the people in Africa to have clean water in their community so hopefully one day they don't have to walk miles to get clean water. This heart of Mine has just Two settings: Nothing at All or To give. There is No in Between. I'm Planning to Make the Most of it. Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story. I couldn't be happier to choose this charity. I Don't Have Birthdays. I Level Up!
I'm at Level 36. Cheers!!!

p.s. Thanks and Smoochez...

Mission Statement:

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.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my 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.
