Clean water is one of the basic required things to stay alive for a human being. We often think it’s a common thing in our western countries, which means we also forget one really scary thing: more than one billion people still don’t have access to clean water.

Scott Harrison’s cause is certainly one of the most respectable causes. It’s called Charity Water, and its aim is to provide fresh and clean water to every single people on earth. What this guy has done so far is amazing and impressive. And it all started with a birthday party.

With My Charity Water You can run your own campaign for raising money, so everyone can become a fundraiser (100% of donations , and the website UI really rocks.

By the way, as some of you may know, it’s my birthday on saturday. I’ll turn 23. As a web developer, My goal has always been to make the web a better place. Today, I have the opportunity to make the world a better place. At least, being part of it.

If you want to give some money to people really in need, you can donate through my birthday campaign on http://mycharitywater.org/bastienlabelle. Or you can also create your own campaign.

There are about 6 billion people in the world. One billion still don’t have access to clean water, and $1 is the amount required to provide clean water to one human being for a year. What if the other 5 billion would give $1 a year? Spread the word to make it happen.
