So happy to see such an awesome project on here! This ROCKS. Water is just so essential to life that it's so sad to see people at risk of having no water because they can't afford it. It's seems INSANE that the system would rather them go without water. Glad that you're working to change that Tiffani. Keep being a superstar!
