The Tap Project in SF

It's World Water Week (March 22 to 28) and The Tap Project is raising funds to bring clean, accessible water to children worldwide. The project began in 2007 and donates funds to UNICEF's water and sanitation programs. A few stats from the Tap Project website:

• Every day, 4,200 children die of water-related diseases
• Nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water
• One dollar raised through the Tap Project can provide a child with safe drinking water for 40 days

To be a part of the Tap Project, find a list of participating restaurants in San Francisco, and then donate $1 or more for the tap water you'd normally get free with your meal. You can do a restaurant search here.
