There are a billion people out there who can't just turn on a faucet and get clean drinking water. 80% of all diseases in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water and lack of sanitation.

Here's the deal: $20 can give someone clean, safe water for two freakin decades. My goal for this Blog Action Day is to keep 250 people from dying from malaria and leeches and other water-borne stuff that none of us even think about on a daily basis.

Donate 20 bucks and you're an ultimate badass. Look at this little girl on the right, she's all happy just thinking about it!

Charity: water puts 100% of your donation directly into clean water projects in impoverished nations. Even better, when projects are complete, every dollar is tied to the village and all the wells are posted on Google Earth.
