Diarrheal disease treatment and prevention are on the wish list all year around for families and communities in developing countries,

so a number of charities and philanthropies are making it possible for gift givers to donate directly or in the name of someone else, important life saving interventions.  For example, $80 to UNICEF will buy 1,000 sachets of ORS. 

Similarly, www.water.org is selling uniquely designed water bottles with 100% of the proceeds supporting efforts to ensure availability of clean water in developing countries.
