How much is $20 worth to you? Think of all that crap you have spent $20 on, yeah, quite a lot right? Well, waste some on this. The money pays for clean water, something we all take very much for granted, in areas where they don’t have any.
I’m assuming a fair number of people who have seen this post have probably stopped reading now, what with the realisation this post is about some charity, or something. Don’t worry, that’s cool. This is a videogame website and posts like this really don’t belong here. I just thought you lot, the regular readers, might have your interests tippled.
However, I don’t want to come across as one of those pushy types being all up in your shizzle et cet eh ra, so feel free to stop reading now. Now. NOW! Hmm, can’t get rid of you eh? Ah well, go give charity: water $20. Realistically, it’s not going to break the bank is it? I just thought it was worth a post on this fine Saturday morning.
Most of us have never really been thirsty. We’ve never had to leave our houses and walk 5 miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean.
Yet more than 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have clean water. It’s hard to imagine what a billion people looks like really, but one in six might be easier. One in six people in our world don’t have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can’t imagine going 12 hours without.

This is a problem in Africa, the same country that RE5 is in. Now it’s video game related.
I’d give money if I had money to give.
Corrupt governments and too many people for limited resources. Thats the problem. Funding charties ad campaigns will not solve that.
@nebones: Since when is Africa a country?
I just donated $20 to charity Wardrox, you better show me some skin or something!
I’ve signed up donating them 20 bucks a month. It’s not that much money and instead of wasting it on junk food I’d rather give it to this charity. For the others who are perhaps on the fence about donating: If you can afford it by any means then do it!
@omnia & @The_Young_Scot: That’s very very kind of you, thanks :)
I just left Africa, where I was involved in a lot of community service projects. My conscience is clear.
