Introduction
When singer and songwriter Giada Valenti took notice of the tsunami
tragedy in Asia in 2004, she also heard that one of the first things
needed to
help the people was clean drinking water. Clean drinking water is
essential to preventing additional disasters of epidemics of such
diseases as cholera and typhus.
This need inspired her to put in motion an idea that she has had in
mind for several years. She wants to use her music and her contacts in
the music industry to raise funds to help people. Her idea is to start
an initiative entitled; Music For Water. The
objective is to raise funds for clean water projects with annual music
events and music-related fund-raising campaigns.
The Music For Water will not take action only when disasters,
like the tsunami in 2004, occur. It will raise funds annually.
The lack of clean water is one of the largest problems of this time,
not only in regions hit by disaster, but also every day in regions of
Africa and elsewhere. Closer to home, our clean drinking water is often
threatened by pollution.
Giada wants to raise money with her Music For Water initiative to
help fund projects that are involved in obtaining and preserving clean
water.
