Why Emily Threlkeld is fundraising for clean water

On December 15, I'm turning 27. In lieu of birthday gifts or Facebook wall posts, I'm asking for a donation for charity: water from everyone I know.

The way they're set up, 100% of public money raised goes 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 community we've helped!

My goal is to raise $550, which is enough to bring clean water to 27 people, one for every year I've been on this earth. Please join me to make this birthday (and Christmas) count!
