One Water PlayPumps: Helping Children Drink Clean Water

The One Foundation is a humanitarian organisation that helps raise funds in order to provide clean drinkable water to populations that do not have access to it. The money raised finances the installation of "PlayPumps" in villages in Africa. This way, women and children do not have to walk many kilometers every day carrying heavy buckets of water. Instead, children play on the merry-go-round, pumping filtered drinkable water at the same time.


In 2010, there are still 1 billion people who do not have access to drinkable water, and 2 million people die of water-related diseases every year. Start making a difference!


SO HOW CAN YOU HELP?
The best way to help is by raising awareness about this organisation and project.
-Begin by visiting the One Difference website or their Facebook page.

-Donate money on the website in order to help One Difference raise funds.
