Water, water – isn’t everywhere

Raising awareness about access to clean water worldwide – or the lack thereof – and raising money to enable access is the main purpose of Twestival. It’s a global event and just your luck, there’s one in Raleigh tomorrow evening from 7 – 9pm at the Edge Office location. http://raleigh.twestival.com

The organizers are raffling off knowledge and fun products, 100% of which will also go to the cause. We’re donating our design services for a single kitchen project, come see us!

Tickets are available online, but if you want to go, better hurry – they’re running out.

It’s important. What would YOU do without water?

A few water facts from the charity:water site:

• In sub-Saharan Africa, women spend 15-17 hrs/week collecting water
• Each American uses enough water to fill 1600 glasses a day
• 50% of all schools in the world don’t have freshwater or adequate sanitation
• A five minute shower uses 10-25 gallons of water
• On average, women in Africa and Asia walk 3.7 miles a day to collect water.
