The Water Challenge
Created by The Water Project, The Water Challenge asks participants to make a simple switch: anytime they might buy a soft drink, coffee, milk, or juice, they order a water instead. Then, participants donate their savings—the money they would have spent on another beverage—to help fund a water project for those in need of fresh drinking water. The Water Project has already provided areas in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, and Uganda with clean water.
Even if you take in the challenge for just two weeks, you'll save enough money to provide water for one person. And if you're really wanting to make an impact, you can keep the challenge going for an entire year.
Switching all of your beverages to water also helps the environment. The simple act reduces plastic bottles and emissions from delivery trucks. What's not to love?
