World Water Week: Unicef Tap Project

THIS WEEK, WHEN YOU TAKE WATER, GIVE WATER.

The UNICEF Tap Project is a nationwide campaign that provides the world’s children access to safe, clean water. During World Water Week, March 19–25, 2012, restaurants across the United States and Cesco’s Trattoria in Darien,  will encourage patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free. UNICEF Tap Project Volunteers will be supporting their efforts by conducting local fundraising events and activities. Thousands of restaurants, dining patrons, and students, along with corporate, community, celebrity, and government supporters have made the UNICEF Tap Project a powerful national movement.

WHY CLEAN WATER? 

Nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to safe, clean water. Waterborne illnesses are the second highest cause of preventable childhood deaths worldwide.

UNICEF TAP PROJECT’S GLOBAL IMPACT

Since 2007, the UNICEF Tap Project has raised more than $3 million for water and sanitation programs for children in Belize, the Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire,

Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Togo, and Vietnam. UNICEF works in more than 100 countries to improve access to safe water and sanitation in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices.
