On Monday March 22 charity: water is launching UNSHAKEN World Water Day. The purpose of this initiative is to determine long-term clean water solutions for Haiti. They are asking for grassroots support and creative ideas to help achieve there goal of raising $1.3 million to fund sustainable clean water solutions in Haiti, helping over 40,000 people in need.

“Before the earthquake, one third of Haitians didn’t have access to clean water. Today, it’s become an even greater need. Soon the cameras will be leaving. But the people will remain. Charity: water and a band of allies are leading a campaign to help Haitians build long-term freshwater solutions for their communities.“

ABOUT THE CAUSE
From February 19 through March 1, the charity: water team traveled in Haiti, meeting with local partners, assessing the needs of the people there, and mapping out a long-term investment strategy to provide sustainable water solutions. They are excited to launch Unshaken on March 22, World Water Day. At which point they will reveal the 11 areas in need of funding, the exact cost per project, and stories from each community.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. We give 100% of the money raised to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need. Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years.

WHY WATER.
Right now, almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in eight of us.
