Along with Proctor & Gamble and bloggers across the net, Changents.com has created a campaign called “Clean Water Blogivation” to bring clean water to the countries and people who need it most. More than one billion people do not have access to clean drinking water, and that lack of access remains one of the leading causes of death around the world. Proctor & Gamble has made it easy to donate clean, valuable drinking water to a child or family. Pur Packets, developed through a joint effort by Proctor & Gamble and the CDC, can clean 10 liters of water per packet and provide fresh water for one child for five days. You can donate individually online in increments of $1.00, $7.50, and $30.00, which gives one family clean drinking water for one year (www.csdw.org).

You can see the Pur Water Packets working below:

Through the Clean Water Blogivation campaign, you can help donate 2 liters (one day’s worth!) of drinking water per day for those in need. If you have a blog, you can create a post like this one and become a change agent, letting others know how important it is for people to have clean water around the world. In addition, bloggers will be eligible for a chance to join “P&G Children’s Safe Water Drinking Program,” where you could win $15,000 to donate to a charity of your choice that is helping to spread the word and change the global water crisis.

More importantly, each time a reader votes for or recommends a blog post that spreads the word, Proctor & Gamble will donate 2 liters of drinking water to someone in need in a developing country. You can vote for a blog once each day. So far, P&G has donated two BILLION liters of water to developing countries. Do your part by voting today!
