Highland Water, Denver’s eco-friendly water treatment experts, is pleased to share information about World Water Week, March 21-27. During this time, Keith Warner, President of Highland Water, asks you to consider donating $1 or more for the tap water you usually enjoy for free when you dine at a restaurant. These donations are part of UNICEF’s Tap Project, “an internationally recognized fundraising campaign that helps UNICEF raise awareness of the world water crisis and garner support to help the millions of children it impacts daily.”
Monies raised through the 2010 UNICEF Tap Project will be allocated to the countries and areas UNICEF has identified as among the most in need. Those countries include Togo, Central African Republic, Vietnam, Guatemala and, of course, Haiti.
