It's a big world out there, and while the world is full of billions of people separated by race, color, and creed, we're all connected through the human experience. As co-bearers of the burden of humanity, we share a collective responsibility to help out those less fortunate than ourselves.

I truly believe in helping out others who have a need, especially a need for the basic amenities we take for granted every day, such as clean drinking water. As Americans, we are blessed with an over-abundance of clean, filtered, cold, bottled water, with a luxury to choose from a variety of brands. However, there are those who struggle daily to find water to drink and bathe with.

Two years ago, I witnessed first hand this need in Delhi, India, where I watched as long lines of impoverished Indians from the make-shift shanty towns formed around a water truck , waiting to fill their 1 gal. buckets. These water trucks are issued by the government in response to the inadequate distribution of clean water. The buckets are supposed to supply an entire family with water to drink and bathe with for a week, a family who'd normally have to pump contaminated water from filthy wells. Delhi, India is the 6th largest metropolis in the world, with a population of 17.3 million people, 1/3 of whom live in shanty towns and are therefore not recognized by the government. But it is still only one of the many areas in the world that are in dyer need of clean drinking water.

There are 1 billion people in need of clean drinking water around the world, the majority of which reside in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. According to the charity: water website, the UN predicts that one tenth of the global disease burden can be prevented simply by improving water supply and sanitation.

Please help my clothing brand,ThreeQltyWares, raise money to send to charity: water to help fund the planting of wells to supply clean drinking water to those who need it! By purchasing this shirt, you are donating $25 directly to charity: water and supplying one person with clean drinking water. If we can meet our goal of $20,000, we will have raised enough money to sponsor a water project and latrines at a school and serve up to 1,000 students, teachers and surrounding community members!

If you don't wish to purchase a shirt, you can still donate directly right here on this page. Remember, $20 gives 1 person clean drinking water, but $20,000 gives it to over 1000 people!

100% of the profits go to charity: water and helping provide those in need with clean drinking water. Please help us make a difference. Thank you.
