Please sign this petition to help me earn Care2 butterfly credits to gift clean water through Population Services International (PSI). I will create a new petition every day, and all credits acquired will be redeemed solely for this purpose.
Here is yesterday's petition, if you would like to sign it:

It is estimated that 13% of the world's population lack access to an improved source for drinking water. 40% of these people live in Africa. The repercussions are deadly. Every 20 seconds around the world, a child dies from diarrheal disease due to unsafe water and lack of sanitation and hygiene.
PSI (http://PSI.org) is a leading global health organization with programs targeting child survival. In more than 30 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, PSI combats diarrheal disease by educating individuals about purifying drinking water in the home, practicing improved hygiene and sanitation, and offering treatment. For more than 10 years, PSI has empowered people worldwide to treat more than 93 billion liters of drinking water.
Thank you for your time and signature!
