TAP Project

In 1992 the United Nations General Assembly declared March 22nd of each year as World Water Day. Countries are invited to devote the day to the conservation and development of water resources. As a result, conferences, round tables, seminars and exhibitions are held worldwide to promote public awareness of this global issue.

In 2007, a grassroots initiative called the Tap Project was created, which helps UNICEF provide clean water to children around the world. Initially launched in New York City, the program became a national event this year with 46 states participating. And, in years to follow, the Tap Project will be an international resource of donations for UNICEF and World Water Day.

In 2008, the UN World Water Day theme is the "Year of Sanitation", with an overall goal of fostering economic and social development by accelerating progress of sanitation facilities.
