People spend hours lugging heavy containers of the tainted water to their villages every day. Clean drinking water is often literally under these people\u2019s feet, but they don\u2019t know how to find it or how to bring it up from the ground.<\/p>\n<p>charity: water focuses on helping communities develop permanent water solutions such as freshwater wells, rainwater catchments and sand filters and teaching them how to maintain them.<\/p>\n<p>You might remember OWC\u2019s campaign with charity: water. About $80,000 was raised as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/26165-funds-from-owc-charity-water-campaign-put-to-work\">OWC\u2019s charity: water campaign<\/a>. And that campaign was part of an even larger campaign called \u201c100 Wells For The Holidays\u201d that raised more than $1.5 million to bring sustainable drinking water solutions to people in developing nations.<\/p>\n<p>Please take time today to consider what you can do to contribute on this World Water Day.
