My birthday is almost here, I'm going to be 2 yrs old!!! I'm so excited about becoming older and hitting all of my milestones. My vocabulary is about 50 words and my parents think I'm a chatterbox. I'm really thankful to have lived another healthy year, not very many kids are as fortunate; millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

I'm asking for donations in place of birthday presents this year, no amount is too little. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. 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 know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Help me reach my goal by donating to my birthday campaign!

Thank you,
Emma Umude
