What does effective handwashing have to do with clean water? The answer is everything! It is critical to effective handwashing & hygiene. The sad thing is that people in developing countries don't have it!
As the Coronavirus continues to spread around the world (recent numbers indicate it is in every country in the world), hand washing is one of the main ways to save lives, but people in developing countries don't have access to clean water to wash their hands. Help us stop the spread of the disease by providing clean water for drinking and washing purposes, a gift of $50 can bring clean water to 1 person for generations to come for the people of Peru where only 56% of rural communities have basic sanitation facilities.
It goes without saying, we’re in unprecedented times. We are challenged and working daily to navigate our new normal like many of you. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused swift changes in the way we operate, how we serve, and our ability to help our friends, neighbors and those we serve.
To put it simply, WE NEED YOU.
Communities Foundation of Texas, United Way and the Dallas Cowboys have teamed up to present North Texas Giving Tuesday Now on Tuesday May 5, 2020. This emergency campaign will give us the means to ensure that communities in need have access to basic clean water, sanitation, and hygiene services for proper handwashing to prevent the spread of future diseases. Currently everyday, nearly 10,000 people die from a waterborne disease!
We currently have a matching gift challenge of $1000, so every dollar raised up to $1000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar!
