Last year you helped us raise $21,386 for charity: water to celebrate our 5th birthday. This year we hope you’ll help us raise even more.

Help us celebrate our 6th birthday by raising ብር600,000 Ethiopian birr, roughly $35,000 USD, for charity: water. The birr (ብር) is the unit of currency in Ethiopia. With a local partner, charity: water plans to serve 100% of Northern Ethiopia with access to clean, safe drinking water if they reach this year’s goal. And they’ll do that by purchasing a FS 250 drilling rig.

To convey our message with a little more creativity than just a blog post, we’ve created this nifty long-scrolling, parallaxified mini-site:

Nothing overly technical nor fancy, but we hope it’ll help spread the word.

You’re welcome to donate whatever your budget can afford, but we invite you to donate an amount that helps us celebrate our 6th birthday: $26, $66, $106, or even $600.

With your generous contribution, you’ll wish us a happy 6th birthday, but more importantly, you’ll help provide clean drinking water to Ethiopia. Galatoomi!
