Buy the Bay is a collaborative effort to help preserve the beach we love.

Working with some of their favorite artists, designers, writers and musicians, they are transforming precious beach experiences into tangible objects that you can own or give to someone else. These beautifully crafted items reflect the things everyone cherishes most about the beach, and are available to own or share as a gift. All of the proceeds directly benefit Heal the Bay’s efforts toward keeping Santa Monica Bay safe, healthy and clean for all to enjoy.

How many gift cards do you have sitting in your wallet? We guess you have at least $5 of unused gift cards right now.  What’s 5 bucks going to buy you?  Maybe a pair of socks…but 10 people giving 5 bucks will buy a kid a winter coat, or 1000 people giving $5 may give that same kid a warm bedroom to sleep in through the night.

Gift Card Giver is a new form of giving. They collect and distribute the cards to appropriate Non-Profit Organizations that can use those cards to help others. It’s a grass roots campaign that has created a new form of giving and you are an important piece to the idea coming to life. To learn more about the organization, visit Gift Card Giver>>

charity: water was born in September. Each year for charity: water’s birthday, they team up with September babies and other supporters to take on something really big. This year’s September Campaign will bring clean and safe drinking water to the Bayaka people in Central African Republic – one of the poorest and most remote countries in the world. Their goal is to raise $1.7 million with the help of individual fundraisers. 100% of the money raised will directly fund sustainable water projects.

charity: water started with a birthday party. When  founder Scott Harrison turned 31, he asked everyone he knew to come to a party and bring money for clean water instead of gifts. He raised more than $15,000 and then used the money to give water to people living in a refugee camp in Uganda. In 2007 charity: water did it again, but asked others born in September to join in as well. They gave up birthday gifts and together they raised $150,000 to bring clean water to hospitals and schools in Kenya. A year later, 900 people joined the movement, and almost $1 million was raised through birthdays. This year, charity: water is doing it again — but bigger. They hope to bring clean and safe drinking water to a forgotten people in a forgotten nation: the Bayaka in Central African Republic. The 210 water projects that will serve 90,000 people will cost $1.7 million — an ambitious goal, but one they can reach with your help.

The solution proposed by our local partners to help Nan Simon is a spring protection with tap stands. Springs are usually found in mountainous areas and are formed as aquifers break the earth’s surface. They can be excellent sources of drinking water, but if left unprotected, they are easily contaminated. A concrete spring box will be built around the source, shielding it from parasites and debris.

After the spring is covered and protected, the water is piped to a holding tank – sand chambers inside make sure the water is crystal clear on the way out. Gravity then takes the safe water down the mountain to community tap stands below.

After the project is complete, the recipients will receive comprehensive hygiene and sanitation education. The community has agreed to donate time and labor to construct the project. To keep the water clean and improve hygiene, they’ll also build household latrines, BioSand filters, laundry stations, handwashing faucets and animal troughs.

Right now, the International Rescue Committee is deploying its Emergency Response Team to Haiti to deliver help to the devastated city of Port-au-Prince. The IRC will be working with overwhelmed local aid groups to provide life-saving medical care, water and sanitation to earthquake survivors.

Our specialists are veteran first-responders who set up immediate and effective emergency programs around the world during violent conflicts and natural disasters. The IRC is also supporting members of the Haitian American community, which is in the process of organizing a major response. Many of them are refugees who were resettled by the IRC. Your support is urgently needed to help us rescue lives in Haiti.
