Support Clay Aiken and the Tap Project

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that not everybody has clean and accessible water. UNICEF’s Tap Project works to bring awareness, as well as water, to children around the world.

World Water Week is March 22-28, and you can help support the cause by stopping in at participating restaurants and paying $1 for tap water you usually get for free. Each dollar raised will provide a child with clean drinking water for 40 days, according to UNICEF. It’s pretty amazing how far a dollar can go.

Plus, if you want to do a little more, many cities will host a Tap Water walk on March 22 where walkers will carry up to a gallon of water a  mile in a “gesture of solidarity for children worldwide who suffer from a lack of readily available clean water.”

In Wilmington, Delaware, 6th grade students at the Montessori school are active volunteers in gaining participation from local restaurants in the Wilmington area.

How Water-Wise Are You?
Random facts from UNICEF

Did you know……….

  • that about two-thirds of your body is made up of water?
  • on average, people in the U.S. use more than 100 gallons of water a day, while people in most developing countries use less than 2 gallons a day.
  • it costs UNICEF only $37 to provide a water filter, purifier, and disinfectant that can be used by an entire village.
  • if you shorten your shower by 1 or 2 minutes, you could save up to 700 gallons of water per month.

The Tap Project is a favorite of Clay Aiken.  As an Ambassador for UNICEF, he made a great video about the children of the world and the Tap Project.  Take a look.  It is wonderful to see a celebrity who is passionate about making the world a better place.
