Double Down for World Water Week

$100,000 World Water Week Matching Gift Challenge Deadline: TONIGHT Syrian refugees Awash, her husband, and their four young children are living in a tent in Lebanon. They’ve made it through a bitter winter, but it’s still a struggle to survive.

Along with food and health care, Awash’s family needs clean water, to stave off life-threatening illnesses like cholera and diarrhea.

Today is day six of World Water Week — a time when we work hard to alleviate the lethal impact that unsafe water has on millions of children worldwide.

It’s also the last day that you can donate to UNICEF's 48-hour World Water Week Matching Gift Challenge — and double the impact of your generosity. Here is where you will help make a lifesaving difference in children’s lives:

• In Syria and its neighboring countries, where UNICEF has provided 16 million people like Awash and her family- affected by the worst humanitarian crisis in recent memory with safe drinking water.
• In Vanuatu, a poor island country in the South Pacific, where UNICEF and partners are working to repair water pumps and water treatment systems damaged during Cyclone Pam.
• In the 100+ other countries from Belize to Burkina Faso to Bangladesh, where UNICEF works to improve water supplies and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.

Clean water is not just important; it is a lifesaving necessity. I know you feel the same way.

Please make your gift to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s World Water Week Matching Gift Challenge today.
