| The world is turned upside down due to ethnic conflict. When I started Ethnicitee, I wanted to show that we can celebrate and respect both our similarities and differences through our unique designs. I wanted to make a difference and use fashion as a vehicle to improve the lives of children. You can continue to make a difference $20.00 at a time. A $20.00 donation can provide a child with clean water for 20 years. Each one of us can make a difference. Help us build a well, save a child’s life. The Talmud says; “Whoever destroys a single life is as guilty as though he had destroyed the entire world; and whoever rescues a single life earns as much merit as though he had rescued the entire world”. Make a world of difference. | ||||||

| The world water crisis is one of the largest public health issues of our time. The lack of clean, safe drinking water is estimated to kill almost 4,500 children per day. Water is essential to the treatment of diseases, something especially critical for children. A third of the Earth's population livesin water stressed areas and that number is expected to rise dramatically over the next two decades. The crisis is worst in developing nations, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Many women and young girls in rural areas in Sub-Saharan African and other parts of the world must walk as much as six miles every day to collect water for their families. Due to this manual labor, they are prevented from pursuing an education, maintaining their households or earning additional income. Thus, the lack of clean water, coupled with the lack of basic sanitation and a dearth of hygiene education, is one of the largest obstacles to progress and development in many regions across the world. learn more about the charity: water initiative > |

$20 can give a person clean, safe drinking water for 20 years.  Why $20? An average hand-dug well costs $5,000 and can serve a community of 400 people. The price of a well varies by region, the depth at which water can be reached, and also depends on cement, transportation and material costs. Why 20 years? 20 years is the average lifespan of a hand pump, given that it is routinely maintained. When a hand pump breaks, often the repair costs significantly less, and the well can resume full functionality. charity: water funds well rehabilitations as well as new drilled and hand dug wells. learn more about charity: water projects > |
