During the World Water Week 2009, Lee Clow interviewed the initiator of UNICEF’s Tap Project, Dave Droga, for Tap Project Radio. The radio show included personal insights on the initial idea of the project as well as conversation about Dave’s love for the environment and people – and his belief in big ideas.

The online broadcast of the interview was so highly appreciated by its listeners that mad-blog.com asked for permission broadcast the show again. Unicef, Dave Droga and Lee Clow gave their approval. So enjoy 20 minutes of great talk.

In 2007, the Tap Project was born in New York City based on a simple concept: restaurants would ask their patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free, and all funds raised would support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world.

Growing from just 300 New York City restaurants in 2007 to thousands across the country in 2008, the Tap Project has quickly become a national movement. Restaurants, corporations, volunteers, advertising agencies, community groups, local governments and everyday diners participated to save millions of children’s lives.
