If you're like me, you don't spend too much time thinking about water - it's everywhere we go. When we're thirsty, we flip a handle or push a button. When we're dirty, we twist a shower knob. When our garden needs watering, when our pasta needs to be boiled, when we use the bathroom - water's just there for the taking.

But for a billion people on the planet, it's not. Millions of women and children have to walk hours each day to get water from muddy ponds and rivers. And much of that water is infested with parasites and leeches. In fact, 80% of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water and lack of sanitation.

When I learned that only $20 can give someone clean, safe water for two decades, I decided to start a campaign to help. Now, my goal is to raise $5,000 to build wells in developing nations. And the cool thing about charity: water is that they spend 100% of the money I raise directly on the water projects. Even better, when projects are complete, every dollar is tied to village and all the wells are posted on Google Earth.

The world's poorest nations need our help. Here's the deal.

If you think about it, bottle water can cost you $3, a pint of beer $7, a cafe cup of coffee $5. What I am asking is that you donate a "Pint of water" to this cause. We go to restaurants and bars and throw money away on alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Sometimes our tabs would be able to give a number of people clean drinking water for two decades. So instead of 4 Pints of Guinness, drink 3, and donate the 4th pint as a "Pint of water" and save some lives. Give what you can or what you think a Pint of water is worth.

Together, we can make a dent in the global water crisis. I hope you'll consider helping.

Thank you.
