Most of us have never really been thirsty. We’ve never had to leave our houses and walk 5 miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean.
Yet there are a billion people on the planet who don’t have clean water.
It's hard to imagine what a billion people looks like really, but one in eight might be easier. One in eight people in our world don’t have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can’t imagine going 12 hours without.
Here is the story of Charity: Water, and how it came to birth.
The story of charity: water - The 2009 September Campaign Trailer from charity: water on Vimeo.
Another video that inspired me greatly: how one small thing can lead to another, and soon you find that you have something big in your hands; something that can very well change -- and save -- lives.Through platforms like this, it becomes so easy to help, and to get involved.
Another campaign that you can easily get involved in is CUP: Communities Unite for Purewater, in which each time you click, ten cents is donated to a fund that aims to provide the children of Cambodia clean water. When you click once everyday, you are donating ten cents everyday.
And it doesn't even cost you a thing ;)
