Every girl knows that she needs eight glasses of water a day for flawless skin and glossy hair, but for millions of children in some 100 countries this can be a very hard rule to live by.
The good news is: you can help! And you don’t even need the time or the disposable income to do it. You can help by doing almost nothing.

UNICEF Tap Project’s campaign to try and improve access to clean water and sanitation and they’re asking you to put your phone down to help.
