This year, Vera Aqua Vera Vita (VAVV) rides the generosity wave, hoping to use the proceeds from GivingTuesday to provide access to clean water for 200 people in the Piura Region of Peru. VAVV pledges that 100% of the donations given for GivingTuesday will go directly to projects in Piura, Peru, providing clean water and sanitation measures to communities in great need. The goal is to raise $10,000!

Imagine that you wake up, go to the bathroom and it won’t work then you turn on the faucet and nothing happens. Imagine going to your favorite Starbucks to get a boost for the day just to realize that there is no more water to make your coffee. Imagine going to the store to get water and on the aisle, there is no drinking water even available for purchase… If all these scenarios seem unlikely, could you at least Imagine a Day without clean water to cook, bathe, or do laundry with?

Water is certainly the most abundant resource in the world. After all, 71% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. It seems then paradoxical to say that despite its abundance, by 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
