<title>Dominion Woman's Club campaigns for Unicef's World Water Week!</title>

The Dominion Woman's Club is campaigning for local restaurants and their patrons to DINE + DONATE + DO YOUR PART for World Water Week sponsored by the UNICEF TAP Project.
 
World Water Week is March 21st - 27th and is designed to raise awareness of the world water crisis and provide safe, clean water to the world's children.  

WHY A CAMPAIGN ABOUT CLEAN WATER?

Because clean water is essential, yet nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to it and nearly half of those are children. With the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti, the world is more aware than ever of the need for clean water. Increasing the number of people with safe access to clean water and basic sanitation will save children at risk of waterborne illnesses, which is the second highest cause of preventable childhood deaths.  

Attention: restaurants, corporate partners, volunteers, advertising agencies, community groups ! Join this lifesaving movement by simply asking people to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free. 
 
With just ONE DOLLAR, UNICEF can provide a child with 40 days worth of clean water. 

The UNICEF Tap Project campaign is structured to collect donations from patrons, then have restaurants submit the donations to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.  This year, during World Water Week March 21st - 27th, diners will also have the option to "Text for Tap," which lets them donate quickly and easily from their table from their own mobile phone.  By texting "TAP" to UNICEF (864233), patrons can make a one-time $5 donation, which will help UNICEF provide 200 children with access to clean drinking water for one day. 

Raising just $25.71 each night of World Water Week, or $250 total, will raise enough funds to provide 27 children with water for a whole year!]]>
