Charity Water spotlight and giveaway



I wanted to spotlight a few green charities during my Going Green Big Time series. Charity water was one I came across and is now very dear to my heart. This is a great organization that is helping so many people all around the world.



This is the fact that really hit home to me:
women and children.

In Africa alone, people spend 40 billion hours every year just walking for water. Women and children usually bear the burden of water collection, walking miles to the nearest source, which is unprotected and likely to make them sick.

Time spent walking and resulting diseases keep them from school, work and taking care of their families.

Along their long walk, they're subjected to a greater risk of harassment and sexual assault. Hauling cans of water for long distances takes a toll on the spine and many women experience back pain early in life.

With safe water nearby, women are free to pursue new opportunities and improve their families’ lives. Kids can earn their education and build the future of their communities.



I know so many of us are struggling right now, but think of these people, think of your life without running, clean water. Doesn't make that coffee shop latte taste too good, does it? It's our responsibility as humans to make sure people have everything they need. Next time you turn on the shower think of those woman walking to get water.
