The public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistic with a simple,affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.
“One dollar buys enough good,clean water for a child for 40 days,” Stem says.
“The tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in New York City.This year,Stem says,about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in the campaign.We raised about MYM2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,” says Stem.“Last year,we raised over MYM1 million for the first time.This year we're hoping to top that.”
Stem credits the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who support the tap project and raise money in their communities.
The UNICEF Tap Project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water,give water.Currently,UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.
Stem hopes that,by participating in the project,more Americans will realize that what they often take for granted is a precious and scarce resource in many other parts of the world.
