Charity Water

In the last post there was an embedded video that explained the concept of walking distances to retrieve water. This video was related to an organization called Charity Water. Charity Water is a nonprofit organization located in New York. Their main concern is to bring clean water to places that do not have it. There are over 800 million people that go without clean drinking water on a daily basis. This is outrageous to think about when you consider how easy it is for us as Americans to literally walk to a faucet and have water dispensed at our disposal. To continue, Charity Water is not just building the wells, but they also like to make sure that people are actually well educated on the issue of clean water sources as well as the importance of water in a person's life. Charity Water's most attractive thing is the fact that they have promised the world that whatever money is donated to the charity will go directly towards funding in the field projects. This is great because many people when donating to a nonprofit organization do not truly know just how much of their money is actually going towards the cause at hand. In order for this goal of giving all the money towards the cause, Charity Water must rely on business people and philanthropists alike in order to make sure that their organization stays afloat. You might be wondering just who is the mastermind behind such a great organization. His name is Scott Harrison. Charity Water is currently hiring as well as looking for interns.
