UNICEF Ambassadors Angie Harmon, Alyssa Milano and Marcus Samuelsson, UNICEF Supporters Heidi Klum and Nas, along with Judd Apatow, Kristen Bell, Jeff Bridges, Common, Kat Graham, Bridgit Mendler, Seth Rogen, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Spacey, Sting and Kate Walsh, take to social media to help provide clean water for children

Starting today Facebook users can help provide children around the world with access to clean water and sanitation and urge their friends and family to do the same. The seventh annual UNICEF Tap Project, a national fundraising and awareness campaign, is going digital this year, turning the social network into a water network that has the power to save lives.

Waterborne illnesses are the second leading cause of preventable childhood deaths in the world—killing nearly 4,000 children under the age of five every day. With $5, UNICEF can provide one child with access to safe, clean water for 200 days.

“More young kids die from dirty water and poor sanitation than from measles, malaria, and AIDS combined,” said Caryl Stern, President and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. “Across the developing world, children often walk miles to the nearest source to gather water for their families, forcing them to miss out on an education. UNICEF believes that ZERO children should be deprived of clean water and basic sanitation.”

Launched for World Water Month, the UNICEF Tap Project Facebook app turns the social network’s users into “taps” and their connections into “pipes” ready to be filled with water. By donating $5 to the UNICEF Tap Project via text message or PayPal, each participant can choose two friends to receive water and the opportunity to donate. As Facebook users begin to grow the water network via the UNICEF Tap Project app, they will be able to see the web of connections around them carry water from friend to friend and the impact of their donation on the lives of children around the world. To learn more about the UNICEF Tap Project and access the water network, visit www.UNICEFTapProject.org.

UNICEF Ambassadors Angie Harmon, Alyssa Milano and Marcus Samuelsson, UNICEF Supporters Heidi Klum and Nas, along with other celebrities including Judd Apatow, Kristen Bell, Jeff Bridges, Common, Kat Graham, Bridgit Mendler, Seth Rogen, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Spacey, Sting and Kate Walsh, are lending their support to help save children’s lives by starting their own water networks or by Tweeting about the campaign.

Giorgio Armani Fragrances is returning as national sponsor of the UNICEF Tap Project. Since 2010, the company has donated $1.3 million and raised awareness to help UNICEF improve access to safe, clean water for children worldwide through its Acqua for Life campaign. For the month of March, Giorgio Armani Fragrances will donate $5 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for each Acqua di Giò, Acqua di Gioia, Acqua di Giò Essenza, and Acqua di Gioia Eau Fraiche spray cologne or gift set purchased in the United States. Giorgio Armani Fragrances will also donate $1 for the first 50,000 people who “like” the “Acqua for Life” Facebook page at www.facebook.com/acquaforlife from March 1-31.

UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities and to promote safe hygiene practices. Since 1990, thanks to the work of UNICEF and its partners, more than 2 billion people have gained access to clean drinking water.

The UNICEF Tap Project has raised more than $3.5 million for water and sanitation programs benefiting children in Belize, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Mauritania, Togo, and Vietnam. The annual campaign was created in partnership with advertising agency Droga5 and is supported by media partner MediaVest.

Angie Harmon has worked as a model and television and film actress, but this year, she took on another role – UNICEF ambassador to help raise awareness on combating child trafficking. The “Rizzoli & Isles” star spoke to FOX 411 about her new gig and whether hubby, ex-football player Jason Sehorn will ever run for office.

FOX 411: How did you get involved with UNICEF?
HARMON: A couple of years ago they asked me to light the snowflake that’s in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue at Christmas time. I had no idea that was the UNICEF snowflake. They told me that just like each snowflake is different, that represents that each child is different. That’s what UNICEF stands for globally – helping children worldwide. I was just awed and amazed and desperately wanted to be a part of it. We came up with the issue of child trafficking and how much it needs a face and advocate and I gratefully accepted.
We all know child trafficking is out there and children are sold into prostitution and labor and they work in grueling conditions. I think we’ve all become accustomed to the idea that it happens elsewhere but it happens here too. All 50 states have reported it. It’s a growing epidemic and it’s also unacceptable.
I’m really enjoying it. I have to say when it was first presented to me I sat there thinking, why on earth would I take this on. It’s a global problem and I have no idea what I can say to make anyone think there could be any possible solution. Basically I needed a pep talk.
