Water: It changes everything. Water is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, covering about 70%. Yet, almost 1 billion people on this planet are without clean drinking water.

The next time you enjoy a cool drink of water, think about the facts and things we take for granted. 27,000 children die each week due to unsafe water and unhygienic living conditions. Unsafe water and lack of sanitation cause more deaths each year than all forms of violence including war.

Charity water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe water to people in developing nations, in a sustainable manner. Why should we care? Because it's one world, one planet. And a single contribution of $20 can give one person access to clean and safe drinking water, for life.

Americans spend $15 billion a year on bottled water. Getting thirsty? Your $20 contribution (or more) could be life changing! Please join in and make a difference.
