What’s so special about birthdays anyway? Everyone has one, and they keep coming year after year after year. But there is one great way to make your next birthday truly special. Extraordinary, even. Forgo the gifts and fancy dinners and ask your people to give the life-changing — even life-saving — gift of clean water instead. Don’t worry — you can still have birthday cake.
Not your birthday yet? Just tell us when it is, and as the big day approaches we’ll send you a reminder to set up your campaign. Easy peasy.
In the time it takes to listen to Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday,” you can have your birthday campaign all set up and ready to go.
You’re getting even more generous with age. Tell us your birthday and we’ll be sure to remind you when it’s time to start your campaign.
You may recognize Lory. That’s because he’s a bit of a charity: water legend. After learning about the millions of people who spend hours each week collecting water that isn’t even safe to drink, Lory decided to do something.
For his sixth birthday, Lory decided to give up presents. Instead, he asked his family and friends to donate $6 to help build clean water projects. With a little effort and a couple of YouTube videos, he raised $2,386. Six years old, and he provided clean water to nearly 60 people. What can you do with your birthday?
Philanthropists and Gift Aid cover our operating costs so you can trust 100% of your donation will go directly to water solutions, every penny, every time. These companies and organisations agree.
