On January 15th 2009, Topaz and UNICEF launched an exciting new campaign which hopes to raise up to one million euro for water programmes worldwide. Customers will be able to add 2 cents to their bill every time they make a purchase at 106 Topaz company owned stores around Ireland.
How far does 2 cent go?
Water is life. Yet across the world, one billion people do not have access to safe water. Waterborne illness is the second highest cause of childhood death in the world. Just 2 cent can purify up to 10 litres of water, enabling children to drink and wash safely.
