charity: water was born in September. Each year for charity: water’s birthday, they team up with September babies and other supporters to take on something really big. This year’s September Campaign will bring clean and safe drinking water to the Bayaka people in Central African Republic – one of the poorest and most remote countries in the world. Their goal is to raise $1.7 million with the help of individual fundraisers. 100% of the money raised will directly fund sustainable water projects.

charity: water started with a birthday party. When  founder Scott Harrison turned 31, he asked everyone he knew to come to a party and bring money for clean water instead of gifts. He raised more than $15,000 and then used the money to give water to people living in a refugee camp in Uganda. In 2007 charity: water did it again, but asked others born in September to join in as well. They gave up birthday gifts and together they raised $150,000 to bring clean water to hospitals and schools in Kenya. A year later, 900 people joined the movement, and almost $1 million was raised through birthdays. This year, charity: water is doing it again — but bigger. They hope to bring clean and safe drinking water to a forgotten people in a forgotten nation: the Bayaka in Central African Republic. The 210 water projects that will serve 90,000 people will cost $1.7 million — an ambitious goal, but one they can reach with your help.
