I shall pass this way but once.
Any good therefore that I can do
or any kindness that I can show
to any human being, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

Mahatma Gandhi

Dirty Water Vending Machine - New York


4,200 children die of water-related diseases everyday.


UNICEF attempts to change that by shocking the public to create awareness with their Dirty Watercampaign.


There are 8 “flavors” of water that represent common diseases that affect the global poor: malaria, cholera, typhoid, dengue, hepatitis, dysentery, salmonella, and yellow fever.

Thirsty people can choose their favorite infected water to support the charity – each dollar goes to UNICEF’s efforts to provide clean water to those that need it.

A purchase of one bottle provides 40 days worth of potable water for a child.
