Why Cierra Carter is fundraising for clean water

On January 20th, I'm turning 18.

At first, this seemed surreal, even daunting.

But then I found out that millions of people don't live to see their fifth birthdays. And why? Because they don't have access to clean, safe water.

So I'm not scared of turning 18 anymore. In fact, I'm celebrating my birthday like never before.

I'm asking for $500 from everyone I know -- and every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund clean water projects in developing nations. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll be able to see the communities we've helped!

My goal is to raise $500 by my birthday, January 20, 2013.

Please join me to make this birthday count.

    What a lovely young lady it takes to do such a thing for their 18th birthday. I wish I would have been as thoughtful at 18.

    As you no doubt learned in AP Hug, you could be helping to control the world's population...Clean water=Lower CMR=Lower TFR=Less overpopulation. Ha! I am very proud of you, Cierra. I can't wait to hear about all the great things the next phase of your life brings.
