Why Tiffany Smith is fundraising for clean water

So, it's that time of year again... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! And this year I wanted to do something totally different!

I'm giving up my birthday.

Usually, I'd have a party at a dive bar in the city & get some free drinks and maybe if I was really good this year cupcakes too! But, not this time!

I'm turning 27 (which I guess makes me officially an adult! ahhh) so as a mature adult instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $27 or more from everyone I know, but, it's not going to me! All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

I'll admit I don't even think about how much water I use everyday. From showers, grabbing a bottle of water at the corner store, washing my hands, flushing the toilet... All things that to be honest I don't even give a second thought to.

But, for a billion people in the world living without access to clean water, they have to plan their day around walking for hours to get water for their families. Water that looks more like mud, that could give them any number of deadly diseases. Sometimes water that is even infested with leeches. 45,000 people will die this month alone just because they can't get clean water.

My birthday wish this year is to help out & give clean & safe drinking water to some of the billion people living without it. I am so excited about making this year's celebration so different!

Please join me & help me reach my birthday goal!

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.
