Habitat for Humanity has helped hundreds of families move into their dream home, years before Ty and the gang came onto the scene.
Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976 in Americus Georgia. The program developed from the concept of "partnership housing" where those in need of adequate shelter work side by side with volunteers from all walks of life.
In 1984 Habitat's most famous volunteer, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, along with his wife, Rosalyn, participated in their first Habitat build project. Their involvement in Habitat brought increased visibility and international recognition to the program.

Name of Organization: One Drop Foundation
Campaign: 20010-2011
Description:
ONE DROP™ believes that water access is an fundamental right. The interdependence of nature and humans means water issues are everyone’s issue. Without water, there is no life on Earth. Water sustains our daily lives, however its distribution and accessibility is not equal around the world. It is therefore our responsibility as human beings to ensure that water is made accessible to everyone, in sufficient quantity and quality, today and tomorrow.
How ONE DROP works One Drop's capacity to back local partners around the world is measured by the invaluable drops of support from people like you who have chosen to mobilize. ONE DROP-inspired by the creativity of Cirque du Soleil and its longstanding commitment to community involvement-uses circus, visual and multimedia arts along with folklore, popular theatre, music and dance to encourage change in communities.
In addition to raising awareness of water-related issues by entertaining and educating, ONE DROP works side by side with local partners to improve living conditions of disadvantaged communities through access and responsible use of natural resources, especially water.
ONE DROP™focuses its efforts on two spectrums:
1.Developing countries facing urgent water access problems;
2.Developed countries that have the means to share the wealth, where per-capita water consumption is very high.
CSP Goal:To educate and donate as often as they can...
Why did CSP Choose to Pay it Forward? "Every eight seconds, a child dies for lack of drinking water. Isn't that sufficient reason to take action?" asks Guy Laliberte of One Drop...CSP Agreed!
How can you help? Donate, volunteer, be an advocate!
