Let's face it...if you are reading this, you probably don't worry about clean water. Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty or to not have access to clean water. We have plenty of clean water to drink—even the water in our toilets is clean!
However, around the world, almost 800 million men, women and children need access to safe, clean water (that's nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide!). This negatively impacts their health, keeps children from attending school, and traps millions of people in a cycle of poverty.
During Women's History Month, we are highlighting that for hundreds of millions of people, being born female means that their life revolves around collecting water. It's a burden that limits opportunities, jeopardizes safety, and steals time--approximately 200 million hours a day worldwide. For more information: https://www.charitywater.org/stories/women-and-water
However, this all changes when solutions to access safe water are implemented.
For our fourteenth water campaign, we support this year’s United Nations theme for World Water Day—valuing water—what water means to people, its true value, and how we can better protect this vital resource. Water is our most precious resource, and we must balance all of society’s water needs, while ensuring the poorest people don’t get left behind.
Since 2014, we’ve created Second Life fund-raisers through Charity: Water because we believe safe water is necessary for life. Whoever you are, wherever you are, water is your human right. We feel so strongly that we donate all proceeds from Second Chance activities to provide clean water to those in need:

Periodically, depending on the campaign, we contribute all funds to Charity: Water, which provides aid to water projects all over the world. You will even be able to track the project(s) that you have supported.
Our past SL campaigns have collected over USD$4,500 (or over L$1m). All of these funds were donated to water projects in Cambodia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Malawi, Uganda, Niger, Mali, Mozambique, and Madagascar. Completed projects have impacted over 2,700 people. Our virtual fund-raising is having a tangible impact on real people!
WAYS YOU CAN HELP
• Educate yourself and others about the global water crisis. This costs you nothing (except your time) and contributes immensely to raising awareness about the issues.
• Donate L$ at the Second Chance Donation locations. Every drop counts!
• Purchase items at the Second Chance locations--perfect for buying inexpensive gifts for friends (and yourself). Many items are available in our expanded locations and stock changes often.
• Donate surplus transferable items from your SL Inventory to the Second Chance Item Donation Jerry Can (just outside the main Shoppe and in the Plaza).
• Donate what you, friends and family are able directly at our Charity: Water campaign website:
https://my.charitywater.org/denise-infinity/virtual-world-for-a-real-cause-xiv
• Start a clean water campaign in your own geographic area. Charity: Water resources make it easy to have a real impact on this issue.
We know there are a lot of worthy charities out there, but the water crisis is something we can help solve. We hope you agree and show your support by buying items at Second Chance, giving whatever items or amount you can to support our efforts, and telling others about the water crisis.
For every $30 (about L$7,500) that we raise, Charity: Water can give someone access to safe water for years to come. Their past contributions have funded almost 60,000 projects that have impacted over 11.5 million people in 29 countries.
Together, we can change lives through something as basic as water because CLEAN WATER CHANGES EVERYTHING!
