Water for the World: 80,000+ Strong!
As you know we recently launched a petition to pressure senators to sign on to the Water for the World Act. In just a short amount of time over 76,000 of you have signed on in support of this important piece of legislation that would help provide 100 million people with first-time, sustainable access to clean water and sanitation by 2015.
Please lend your voice here and ask your friends and family to do the same. Together we can help provide clean water and sanitation to millions of people.

“Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.” -charity:water.org
The economic drain that is caused by the lack of water helps fuel the destruction of the environment and increases extreme poverty around the world. Creating access to clean water needs to become a top priority for all governments and people. We are all one. -/ Charles
