"Water for Life" & How You Can Help

Yesterday was World Water Day and the beginning of a ten-year initiative that seeks to improve this dire situation. The United Nation's Water Decade, "Water for Life," intends to cut in half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. You can help...

Educate yourself and talk about the problem. Visit the World Water Day Web site to learn more, and forward this email to your friends and family to increase awareness about water issues and how it affects our most vulnerable world citizens -- children.

Help fight hunger. Inadequate nutrition and inadequate water are closely linked; adults who are ill from lack of water or food, or who must care for an ill child, are unable to provide for their family, furthering the cycle of poverty and food insecurity. Clicking every day on the "Help a Child" and "Give Free Food" buttons is a simple, quick and free way to help.

Identify the water-related problems and issues in your area and get involved by contacting local officials. Make your voice heard on national or international issues by contacting your government representatives and sharing your thoughts on current water conditions and how you would like the U.S. to become involved in the United Nation's Water Decade.

Purchase a Mercy Kit that supports the work of our humanitarian partner, Mercy Corps. Mercy Kits are specific packages of aid that strengthen vital community programs to fight hunger, poverty and disease around the globe. The Water Kit, Family Rice Kit and School Lunch Kit are a few examples of ways you can help.

Thank you for your vital efforts and ongoing concern for the health and safety of families. Together, we can make a difference!

Sincerely,
