The UNICEF Tap Project is now open!

Take the challenge on your cell phone at: uniceftapproject.org

The UNICEF Tap Project is back! This year’s initiative asks Americans to unlock clean, safe water for children around the world by encouraging you to stop texting, calling, emailing, tweeting and posting -- and challenge your friends to do the same. Millions of children around the globe do not have safe, clean water to drink, and the lack of this basic necessity isn’t just inconvenient — it’s lethal. Take the challenge on your cell phone at UNICEFTapProject.org throughout the month of March. The longer you go without touching your smartphone, the more clean water will be unlocked for children in need.
