Like music? Like helping people? We do too. Now you can get your fix of both through The Goodfight 10,000.

The Goodfight, an indie rock band from Atlanta, GA, says they will use 100 percent of the profits from their new record "Good & Evil" to provide clean water to communities in need:

Money from the $10 CDs and downloads will go to charity: water, which creates sustainable access to fresh water through wells, filters and rainwater catchments for communities in more than a dozen countries.

According to the organization, 1.1 billion people don't have access to safe, clean drinking water, which makes dirty water the top global cause for illness and death. The Goodfight hopes to sell 10,000 records, which is enough to ensure that 10,000 people can have clean water for the rest of their lives.

Want to provide one person water for the rest of their lives and get The Goodfight's CD too? You can order it directly on their site.

Brilliant! I feel like we need to fight the clean water crisis from as many angles as possible - and this is a very smart way to do it. Cheers and much love from everyone at http://summitonthesummit.com

Water is huge. There are many different ways to provide clean drinking water, wells are one of the most expensive and least reliable. There is a small organization run in Nicaragua called Potters for Peace. http://www.pottersforpeace.org

They work with locals to teach them to make ceramic water filters. They might set up a local micro company that will produce the filters. These filters last a year and cost about a dollar. That makes it affordable to the poorest of the poor. This works anywhere in the world because there are potters in every culture in every country.

Take a look at their website. Its a very small group that has done very big things.
