UNICEF allocates the money raised to the countries they deem most in need, last year funding projects in Belize, Cote d’Ivoire, Iraq, and Nicaragua. The Tap Project started in New York in 2007 and now runs in 20 American cities. Only New York has more participating restaurants than the District. And while other cities may be turning a glass of water into something beautiful in concept, it’s only D.C. that buffers the week with a community art campaign and art exhibit.
Pay at the tap
UNICEF is launching a campaign in DC where restaurant patrons pay/donate for a glass of tap water.
