More than 650 million people around the world lack access to clean water. You can help change that with a simple act: putting down your phone.

UNICEF's Tap Project uses a phone's internal motion sensor to monitor activity. For every 5 minutes that users stay off their devices, the organization will donate 1 day's worth of clean water. You can access the Tap Project site on your phone, and the initiative runs until the end of March. 

Learn more about the Tap Project in the video above.
