Figuring out how to act on the water crisis is tricky. Yes, you can donate money, but thats scarce. I'd rather do something concrete; help in the actual process.
I first visited waterforpeople.org & friended them on facebook. Changemakers led to self.org, a pretty sweet project that uses solar energy to provide drip irrigation that has been implemented in several villages. The big changes are solar from gas(pump power) & ability to grow things in the dry season, which is like half the year.
The women have been earning $7.50 more a week with the bountiful harvests, much needed $ for medicine & schooling. + the obvious bonus of having more wh***some food for their family. This is in places where distended bellies are a frequent sight, caused by hunger.
Ashoka.com is a organization that brings together social entrepreneurs & uses innovative idea to tackle issues such as the water crisis. I will be volunteering for them virtually, if I cannot find a project near me. the damn search wouldnt work on my phone internet.
So thats the act, folks. Cheers.
