Have you ever thought how blessed you are to be able to turn on a faucet and get good, clean water in response to your action? What if you had to walk three hours to fetch a pail of water to quench your thirst or cleanse yourself and that water was dirty, but the only water available? Well, this is the situation facing almost a billion people on this planet. This is why I donate to
Charity: Water. Since operating expenses are paid by private donors, every penny donated by the public goes to the project of digging wells in areas around the world that are so desperately in need of something we most likely take for granted.
You may choose to donate $20, which will provide clean water for one person for 20 years, or you may decide to donate to a special project that is funded every September; either way, you will be giving the gift of a more healthy life to others not as fortunate as yourself.
