Did you know that approximately one billion people in the developing world* do not have the same luxury, and diseases from contaminated water are killing more children every day than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined*.

Walmart and P&G have put together a Clean Water Campaign to help provide clean drinking water to children in the developing world through a water purifying technology developed by P&G. One small purification packet quickly turns 10 litres of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water!

For every participating P&G product purchased at Walmart from May 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, P&G will donate a day of clean drinking water to someone in need. To help bring the program even closer to its goal of donating 25 million litres of water in a 12 month-period, P&G and Walmart will once again open the program up to include every P&G product from July 16 – 31, 2014.

Think about how often you use clean water in your day. Do you think about how fortunate you are to have clean water every time you use it? I think about it often, but definitely not every time I use water. I would like to be reminded about just how lucky us Canadians are to live in a country where clean water is not an issue.

I encourage you to enter a #CleanWater Photo Challenge with me from July 18 through to July 31, 2014. P&G and Walmart want you to share photos of the role clean water plays in your life and the life of our family and friends.

Follow this calendar and post your photos onto your favourite social media platform and don’t forget to use the #CleanWater hashtag:

To date, more than seven billion litres of clean drinking water have been provided by humanitarian organizations across the globe using P&G packets, helping to save an estimated 39,000 lives in more than 75 countries.

This past spring, P&G donated 8.6 million days of clean water to the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Fund as part of its Clean Water initiative. Since May 1, more than 20 P&G products, including Tide, Pampers, Duracell, Dawn and Pantene have continued to generate a donation equivalent to one day of clean drinking water**.
**For every P&G product purchased at Walmart from April 1 – 30, 2014, P&G donated US$ 0.02 to the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Fund. For each purchase of a selection of P&G products from May 1, 2014 – July 17, 2014, P&G will donate US$ 0.02 to the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Fund.
