In most third world countries, the water that is being consumed is most often the same water being used to clean bodies, clothing and livestock; teeming with bacteria. charity:water is but one charity pushing forward in the fight to combat the lack of clean water in underdeveloped nations. A $20 donation (less than the cost of two movie tickets) will allow one person to receive clean drinking for 20 YEARS! $20/20 is clearly an idea which anyone should be able to see how such a small donation can make a major difference in the life of someone less fortunate.
I think two of the main reasons why we don't give to charity is, 1.) We assume a small donation won't make a difference, and 2.) With so many in need, how do we decide where to give? If not to charity:water, then please take a look at www.charitynavigator.org or www.guidestar.com, which are just two trusted websites that provide credible information on charitable organizations to help eliminate the guesswork when giving. So now, I'd like to think that it's not a matter of if you will give, but to whom.
