One Cup to Save a Life

Are you looking for a very simple way to save a life? The next time you order a beverage in a 16 oz. cup, save the cup and then fill it up with your loose change. By donating the amount of change that fits in one of those cups to the Road to Change project, you will provide water to save a life.

To give you some idea of how important water is to each of us, did you know that water accounts for a large percentage of what makes each of us “human”? The average 150lb. adult body contains 40 to 50 quarts of water. Almost 2/3rds of our body is “water weight” (depending upon the percentage of muscle and fat).

Blood is 83% water
Muscles are 75% water
The brain is 74% water
Bone is 22% water.

Please consider making a $10 donation to provide this basic human need for the people of Kalimani.

When the well is dry, we know the worth of water. – Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard’s Almanac 1746
