The parent company of some of our favorite beauty brands like CoverGirl and Olay started a non-profit called The Children's Safe Drinking Water program which provides clean drinking water to poor people around the world who really need it. "Every day more than 4,000 children in developing countries die, simply because they don't have clean drinking water. With your help, we can make a difference."
