About the UNICEF Tap Project

In 2007, the UNICEF Tap Project was born in New York City based on a simple concept: restaurants would ask their patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free, and all funds raised would support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world.

Today, the UNICEF Tap Project is a powerful national movement.

In Milwaukee, socially conscious restaurants are participating during World Water Week, March 19-25, 2012, to support the Tap Project. We’re blessed with access to the world’s largest source of freshwater. By donating, you can help bring clean water to millions of children around the world who aren’t as fortunate as we are. It’s a simple act that can make a difference.

UNICEF’s Role

UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization. In alignment with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, UNICEF is working with its partners to reduce the number of people without access to safe water and basic sanitation by 50% by 2015, which will also save children at risk from waterborne illnesses, the second highest cause of preventable childhood deaths.
