What is the Tap Project?

In 2007, the 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.

The Situation

  • Every day, 4,200 children die of water-related diseases.
  • Nearly 900 million people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water.
  • For each dollar spent on water and sanitation projects, the projected return on investment is from $3 to $34.
  • Just one single dollar raised through the Tap Project can provide a child with safe drinking water for 40 days.
