charity: water

"Right now, almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in eight of us. charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. We give 100% of the money raised to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need. Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years." This statement from charity: water's why water? page pretty much says it all. So now you know what they're doing; what are you doing? As with most charities, you can volunteer to help with this one, too. But the website actually helps you volunteer! By filling out this volunteer form, the good people at charity: water will then let you know how you are best fit to help the cause! You can even get your school involved in the fight for clean water! You can start your own page to raise money at mycharity:water, too (OR VISIT ...POSSIBLE WITH GOD's CHARITY PAGE AND HELP US REACH OUR GOAL OF $500!). Finally, you can purchase gifts, with all the proceeds going directly to help people in underdeveloped countries get the water they need.
