I have been overwhelmed with the inquiries and support for my charity, Project Clean Water, since my recent appearance on Greta Van Susteren's show- which is great! I have posted information about the charity on my site before, but for those of you that want to know more, or aren't familiar, I started Project Clean Water in 1997 to help improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world with clean water problems. To date we have helped over 30 communities overcome their individual drinking water problems in 13 different countries, on 5 different continents.
 
Project Clean Water recently formed a partnership with the Voss Foundation and my friend Sir Richard Branson's charity organization, Virgin Unite, to support water projects in sub-Saharan Africa. We are calling this partnership "Give a Drop" and our first project together is to help provide water to the village of Pel in Dogon, Mali. The Dogon civilization is one of the most ancient in Africa, and the survival of this unique culture and way of life is currently being threatened by global changes in the environment. I am so pleased to be able to help.

If you would like to make a contribution to support this work, it's easy. To make a $5.00 donation, just pick up your cell phone, text the message "DROP" to phone number 85944. (Don't forget to respond "yes" after you text.)  Even a small donation can make a big impact!

Another way you can help is by bidding on a special auction I've created just to benefit Give A Drop. The winning bidder will receive two tickets and meet and greet passes to one of my shows on the Fall tour...and the opportunity to introduce me on stage. You can check out the auctions by clicking HERE.
 
Thank you for your interest in Project Clean Water and our cause!
