Throughout 2009, SheSpeaks has connected our members to leading brands, and your feedback has helped these brands grow their business and improve their products. We believe in the power of our community to make change, and as we near the end of the year and the holidays, we're inviting the SheSpeaks community to participate in an exceptional SheSpeaks program: charity: water.

Clean water is a women's issue. Women and children bear the brunt of this problem wasting hours each day walking up to 30 miles to find somewhat clean water. Young girls drop out of school since they need to spend daylight hours walking to find and haul water.

But, clean water is there. It's just buried deep in the ground. To access it, drills and wells have to be built. That's where charity: water comes in. charity: water is a non-profit organization that was developed to help provide the resources needed to drill and build wells.
