What would you do if you or your family didn’t have clean drinking water?
If this isn’t a question you find yourself thinking about very often, you’re not alone. A recent poll commissioned by P&G and Walmart found that four out of five (80 per cent) Canadians take clean drinking water for granted and almost two-thirds (65 per cent) of Canadians are unaware that illness caused by lack of access to clean drinking water is a leading cause of death among infants and children in the developing world.
In fact, approximately one billion people do not have clean drinking water, many of which are children in the developing world. As a result, thousands of children die every day. The P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program helps provide clean drinking water to these people through a water purifying technology developed by P&G. One small P&G purification packet quickly turns 10 litres of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water.
Nearly 7 billion litres of clean drinking water have been provided by humanitarian organizations across the globe using P&G packets, helping to save an estimated 39,000 lives in more than 75 countries.
Now you can help! This April, for every P&G product purchased at Walmart in store or Walmart.ca, P&G will donate one day of clean water** to CSDW to help a child in need. Walmart shoppers across the country can make a special difference in someone’s life just by doing their regular weekly shop for their family.
In the spirit of giving to others, P&G has provided me with this prize pack (valued at approximately $52*)! The giveaway includes:
Tide Pods -$19.99*
Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Shampoo -$3.92*
Always Radiant Infinity -$4.99*
Dawn Ultra Original Scent with Active Suds Dishwashing Liquid – $3.99*
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor – $14.49*
Mr. Clean Antibacterial Multi-Surfaces Liquid Cleaner – $3.99*
These are just some of the essential items Canadian families use each day, and can’t imagine living without. By stocking up on P&G products, like these at Walmart or Walmart.ca in April, you’ll be taking a small step to make a big difference.
