When I was organising my 50th birthday celebrations, I felt a great sense of gratitude for my life - what I have experienced and the people I have had the pleasure of sharing it with. I also had a nagging sense of unease. An awful lot of expense and kerfuffle for one person!

I realised there was a solution - make it about something bigger than me.

I had read about The Water Project and loved the simplicity of the idea - that everyone deserves access to clean water. So far from first world problems. Too many people suffer needlessly - children walking miles to fetch water, people getting sick and even dying from drinking dirty water.

Therefore, you are invited to help turn my 50th birthday into a much bigger, community and global celebration by donating to The Water Project. The money raised by our little community will be used to partner with a community in Africa to provide a fresh water solution. We will be allocated a community to help and we can watch our water project unfold together, allowing us to connect in a way that has somewhat been lost in the western world. Please feel free to invite others to participate.

I look forward to this ongoing connection, watching our water project unfold and making a difference with you.

In peace, love and gratitude,

Pam

So happy to be able to help a family have a clean supply of water

The Water Project is a U.S.-based charitable organization unlocking human potential by providing clean, safe water to communities around the world.

How this works

Dirty water impacts health, education, women, and income. Providing a reliable and safe water source allows communities to thrive.

The Water Project provides access to safe and reliable water across sub-Saharan Africa. Together, our support can end the water crisis and restore hope, one community at a time.

The coolest part? We'll all get to see our impact! Every gift is directly linked to a specific water project and community. We'll receive updates including photos and stories, maps and more!

Lives change when communities gain access to clean water. Let's experience it together. Make a donation to my fundraising campaign today!
