Virtual farmers in FarmVille 2 now have another reason to share water with their friends. Today, Zynga.org and Water.org announced a partnership in FarmVille 2 to bring the precious resource of water to those in need.
Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, Water.org pioneers innovative, community-driven and market-based solutions to ensure all people have access to safe water and sanitation. Zynga.org is Zynga's social impact arm.
As part of the four week campaign, which kicks off on November 8, Water.org and Zynga.org will offer three limited edition water-themed items for purchase in FarmVille 2. Zynga and Facebook will donate 100 percent of the limited edition item purchases to benefit the work of Water.org in providing access to safe water to communities around the world. Players will be able to support others while helping their own in-game farms flourish by purchasing Water.org themed jerry cans, pumps and sprinklers, all of which will come with valuable in-game water that allows players to grow more crops for animal feed and crafts.
"Our ongoing partnership with Zynga.org is connecting the world with one of the most important issues of our times," said Matt Damon, co-founder of Water.org. "Water is a precious resource. For people without safe drinking water, life is a daily struggle for survival. Zynga is tapping into the power of their network and players to deliver real and lasting change."
