Water: It’s the most basic necessity. Yet one billion--that’s right, one billion--people do not have access to safe water. 425 million children under 18 face water shortages. And 1.5 million children under five die every year from diseases where lack of adequate sanitation and clean water is a contributing factor. You can help UNICEF reduce these needless deaths by buying an Inspired Gift that gives children access to safe, clean drinking water.
By giving a water pump ($408), you are providing clean water for an entire community. UNICEF designed this sturdy deep-well hand pump, which has already been installed in over a million communities.
A basic family water kit ($130) contains buckets, collapsible water containers, soap, and water purification tablets and is especially useful in emergencies. Your gift will help 10 families.
When you give water, you really do give life.

I think it's SCANDALOUS that so many people, children don't have access to safe water. THANK you UNICEF for what has been done, for what you're doing and what you're planning to do!
