Where Your Money Goes
Every dollar raised through the UNICEF Tap Project supports UNICEF Water, Sanitation and Hygiene programs—saving and improving the lives of countless children in more than 100 countries around the globe.
- In Belize, thanks to UNICEF Tap donations, a 7 year-old boy named Juan now has the chance to drink water that won't leave him weak from parasites.
- In Iraq, where years of instability weakened an already dismal water system, UNICEF Tap funds have helped to provide more than 80,000 children and women with water that won't make them sick.
- In Cote D'Ivoire, new UNICEF Tap Project-funded water pumps mean that Suzanne and Claudia no longer have to walk 3 miles each morning to get to the nearest well— a chore that used to mean they often missed school.
UNICEF does whatever it takes to stop children dying from lack of access to clean, safe water and sanitation. That means UNICEF and its partners drill wells and install water pumps, help communities build latrines and teach lifesaving hygiene to schoolchildren, and truck safe water to children and families in emergencies.
UNICEF is committed to finding cost-effective, and environmentally sound solutions to all child survival threats—including those connected to water and sanitation. So UNICEF supports innovative programs like rainwater harvesting and affordable family water filters.
Thousands of restaurants, dining patrons, students, and volunteers, along with corporate, community, celebrity and local government supporters have joined the effort, and have already raised more than $1.5 million to provide millions of children with safe and clean water. But much remains to be done. Join UNICEF Tap Project 2010 and become part of this powerful national movement for the world’s most vulnerable children.
In 2010, UNICEF Tap Project donations will fund programs in Central African Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Togo, and Vietnam—countries that UNICEF water and sanitation experts have prioritized for their immediate needs.
