One billion people lack access to safe, clean drinking water.
To me, safe water should be a RIGHT extended to all, not a PRIVELEGE extended to the wealthy nations.
Unclean water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
I cannot accept this.
The average American uses 150 gallons of water per day.
The average person in a developing nation struggles to find 5.
And I hope, neither can you.
$10 will provide one person in Africa clean water for 10 years. It will literally change and possibly save someone's life. A mother. A child. A brother. A grandfather.
We are rallying together for a cause. Clean water. One day. $10. Asking everyone to let this be their first gift. Let water, let life be their first gift of the season.
We can be part of the solution.
