Many Dogecoin users receive their first coins from community faucets. Faucets are a way for the community to give back to new comers. We wondered if we could turn the fun of a faucet into an effort to raise money and awareness for those without clean drinking water.

The Dogecoin Foundation is working with the wonderful community to help provide water to people in need.

As part of our "Doge 4 Water" campaign, we're hoping to raise 40 million DOGE by "World Water Day" Saturday March 22, 2014 (of equivalent value in USD).

Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way: drilled wells, spring protections, and BioSand Filters can help provide clean water to communities around the world.

We started this fundraising campaign to help a clean water non-profit organization build projects around the world, and we need your help.

Please donate to our campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, our partner will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

Once the campaign is funded, our partners will post updates including photos of the completed wells, so we can track their progress.

The 40,000,000 DOGE raised (in USD current value) will help sponsor:

drilling two wells
providing access to water
providing tools to retrieve and store water

We will be converting DOGE to USD and combining with contributions made on our charity: water page.
