Charity Of The Week: Charity: Water

Hey Guys!
Your charity of the week is here!
(My apologies, the video that I tried to put up was bugging out on Youtube :[)

Charity: Water is an organization dedicated to bringing clean water to nations and people in need.


1] Why water?

One in six people everywhere are without clean drinkable water. That's 1.1 billion people!

2] What is Charity: Water?

Charity: Water gives all of the money they raise to find water solutions in places that need it most. For example,"just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years." AMAZING!

3] What does unsafe water do?
What doesn't it do! It causes 80% of all sickness and disease! It kills more people every year than war! In many places people have to walk hours or days to get water. And this water will eventually kill them anyway. This water puts people vulnerable to all sorts of things - especially children! "Of the 42,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation, 90% are children under 5 years old."


4] Want to help out?
$2o can give a person in Africa clean, safe drinking water for 20 years
