Selena took to facebook to show her support for the Unicef Tap Project today. She posted this picture with the caption "Don't forget World Water Week this week visit www.uniceftapproject.org to learn more."
"Every day 4,000 children die of water-related diseases. Nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water.
Just $1 raised through the UNICEF Tap Project can provide a child with safe water for 40 days.
The simple act of washing a child’s face with clean water can prevent debilitating diseases—like blinding trachoma, an infectious eye disease that spreads from child to child. The world’s leading cause of preventable blindness, blinding trachoma is endemic in 57 countries, with 1.2 billion people living in trachoma-endemic areas, primarily in the poorest communities in the developing world—meaning millions of children without access to clean water are at risk of becoming blind from trachoma.
In 2007, the UNICEF Tap Project was born in New York City based on a simple, tangible and easy-to-implement concept: restaurants would ask their patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free, and all funds raised would support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world."
