Dirty water vending machine

What if someone bottled the water that millions in developing countries drink every day and offered it on the streets of New York?

For just a buck, during World Water Week (March 22-29), New Yorkers in the Union Square Park area were able to enjoy the benefits of Dirty Water. It was available in a wide variety of choices like Malaria, Cholera or even Typhoid Dirty Water — and currently has 900 million consumers.

New Yorkers were startled to find Yellow Fever or Hepatitis Dirty Water bottles. They looked at the vending machine in disgust. Though no one drank Dirty Water, many did donate to the cause. This idea of “selling” dirty water was inspired by UNICEF’s promise that every dollar donated would provide safe drinking water to 40 children for a day.

This eye-opening Dirty Water initiative from Casanova Pendrill New York is still active since people can continue donating online at tapproject.org or via text message. Text TAP or AGUA to UNICEF (864233) to make a $5 donation.

Dirty Water is not an actual product, but a real problem for millions of children around the world!
