World Water Day is Almost Here

I've found that it is important to know what interests you when it comes to what you want to volunteer with and what you want to take on as a someone who is involved with the world around you. In my last post I talked about the organization charity: water and a bit about the water crisis. So, I figured with World Water Day on March 22nd, which is THIS Saturday, I would focus on the water crisis and what we can do to help those who do not have easy access to water.

Water is such a necessary part of life. A person can live without water for about 3 to 5 days, but sometimes the water they end up drinking is even more damaging to their bodies than not having the water available to them. This image is a great infographic from People Water which is a for-profit, cause-based organization that sells different products to raise awareness of the water crisis. 25% of the proceeds from products goes towards water projects that the organization is supporting.

There are so many different organizations that support the water crisis around the world such as People Water, charity: water, Water Missions International, UNICEF Tap Project and water.org to just name a few. The beauty of having so many different organizations is that you can support any way you want to either through volunteering or from purchasing a product. 

The people that are being helped are so important to the cause. Every time a new well is built, or water purification tablets are available, a child is able to go to school or be safe from diseases. So take the time to investigate the water crisis and decide to take a chance on helping solve an important crisis. 

Also, on your smartphone go to UNICEFtapproject.org and go off the grid for a little bit. Every ten minutes that you do not touch your phone is ONE day of water for a child. The longer you go the more water is available to people around the world. So, if you do participate good luck and I hope you beat my 3 hours.
