I don't know what it is, maybe it could be that my biology professor is an activist, but I have been really interested in non-profit organizations that are out making changes. There are so many around. You have Food 4 Africa (hoping to bring at least one vitamin and nutrient enriched meal to a child daily), Stand Up to Cancer (I think the name explains itself), World Food Programme (fighting hunger worldwide).... You get the picture.
I have come across a lot these amazing organizations. Then I found one that I have really fallen in love with. The organization is called Drop4Drop. It is based out of the United Kingdom. Their goal is to bring clean water to developing coutnries. Most recently they brought 4 wells to a couple of India communities. I know it sounds weird, but did you know:
-Every 20 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease
-About 1.2 billion people don't have access to clean water
-About 3.575 million people die yearly from water-related illnesses
-In developing countries about 200 million work hours are consumed by women going and collecting water for their families. That is like building 28 Empire State Buildings daily!
The statistics go on. It is really sad. I don't normally do this but I ask that you look up this organization you can find them at www.drop4drop.org They are truly an amazing organization, and I have had the opportunity to get to know a few of key people in the organization.
I truly care about this organization, and I can only hope that one day clean water will be available to everyone . . . after all it is a human right.
