Giving Tuesday Virtual Event – November 29, 2016
#GivingTuesday

 

Since its inception in 2012, Giving Tuesday has been celebrated across the globe as a day to give back: whether it be through donations, fundraising, volunteering your time and expertise, or simply by calling others to support a particular cause or initiative.

ProZ.com is pleased to host the Giving Tuesday Virtual Event to raise funds for charity: water. Charity: water is a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. There are 663 million people on the planet who don’t have clean water. That's nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Access to clean water means education, income and health - especially for women and children.
