Six Cents Initiative
At a cost of only six cents, a mixture of sugar and salt called oral rehydration salts (ORS) offers the most effective way to help save lives during episodes of dehydration.
Circle K International's Six Cents Initiative with UNICEF is designed to help children get the rehydrating salts they need to survive dehydration spells and to help provide aid for UNICEF's water and sanitation programs as well as providing long-term solutions.
Only 6 cents can provide enough dehydration salts for clean water for a week and only a dollar can provide 40 liters of clean drinking water -- that's 80 water bottles!
