Here's How It Works
The Challenge:
- Give it Up
Make water your only beverage...for 2 weeks.
Take the money you would have spent on soda, juice, sports drinks, bottled water etc., and put it aside to give clean water. Collect your savings in a cup wrapped with a "The Water Challenge" label.
Wear your wristband
It'll help you remember to choose water and to spread the word.- Continue your sacrifice for 2 weeks.
If you are heading toward the soda machine, head for the water fountain instead. If your family goes out to dinner and you usually order iced tea, ask for water. It's free. You'll be amazed at how the savings add up. Encourage your whole family to participate. - Give it Away
After 2 weeks, calculate the amount of money saved by your sacrifice and give water through The Water Project, Inc. It will be used to drill and fix wells, build systems to catch rain-water and build small sand dams in Kenya, Zambia, Cameroon or India...you choose!
