Support the United Nation's Efforts to Bring Clean, Safe Water to Millions



An infant born in sub-Saharan Africa is 520 times more likely to die from disease than a child born in Europe or the United States -- all because of a lack of clean water.


Take action today in support of the UN’s work to supply clean, safe drinking water to the world’s poorest populations and urge UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to prioritize the Millennium Development Goal to halve the number of people without access to clean water and safe sanitation by 2015.

UNICEF is the international leader in providing clean, safe drinking water to millions around the world who need it most. UNICEF is on the front lines, doing whatever it takes to stop children dying from lack of access to clean, safe water and sanitation. Through the UNICEF Tap Project -a nationwide movement to partner with restaurants and volunteers, raising funds and awareness about the global water crisis- we have raised more than $1.5 million dollars and improved the lives of countless children in more than 100 countries around the world.


Letter to
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
I support the UN's life-saving efforts to accomplish MDG seven: By 2015, halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.



Thank you for all that you are doing at the UN on behalf of the world's poorest communities.
