My Peoples,
When I started THE TANGO COMPANY back in 2004, it was always with the dream of someday being able to use my company as a way to do righteous things for the world. I wanted "Tango To The People, Baby!" to be more than just a catch line, but also be a slogan that was synonymous with Charity and help those in need. To build a place for the Tango community to do great things for our sisters and brothers, and for ourselves. Well, that day has come. The "TANGO TO THE PEOPLE, BABY!" campaign has begun.
OUR FIRST MISSION - helping to bring Water To The People, Baby!

I chose this organization first because after doing hours of research, they were the clearest with where their money was going. To build wells for people who lack clean and safe water, a luxury a lot of us (your's truly included) take for granted! And I loved this part - 100% of all public donations go to building wells! 100%!
charity: water - A non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to developing nations.
From their website's mission statement:
"It's hard not to think about water today. In the western world, we face growing concerns about our stewardship of the world's most precious resource. There's talk of shortages, evidence of reservoirs and aquifers drying up, and of course, plenty of people who simply don't care.
But forget about us.
Most of us have never really been thirsty. We've never had to leave our houses and walk 5 miles to fetch water. We simply turn on the tap, and water comes out. Clean. Yet there are a billion people on the planet who don't have clean water.
It's hard to imagine what a billion people looks like really, but one in eight might be easier. One in eight people in our world don't have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can't imagine going 12 hours without.
Here, we'd like to introduce you to a few of those billion people. They are very real, and they need our help. They didn't choose to be born into a village where the only source of water is a polluted swamp. And we didn't choose to be born in a country where even the homeless have access to clean water and a toilet. We invite you to put yourself in their shoes. Follow them on their daily journey. Carry 80 pounds of water in yellow fuel cans. Dig with their children in sand for water. Line up at a well and wait 8 hours for a turn.
Now, make a decision to help. We're not offering grand solutions and billion dollar schemes, but instead, simple things that work. Things like freshwater wells, rainwater catchments and sand filters. For about $20 a person, we know how to help millions.
Start by helping one."
