September's W&W10: charity:water


5 years ago this September, Scott Harrison celebrated his 31st birthday and charity:water was born. During his birthday party he raised $15,000 and built three wells in Africa to give communities new sources of clean water. Scott saw a huge need that existed and realized he could help, we could help. We gladly do. The W&W team has given money, cheerfully sacrificed a birthday and has now celebrated a wedding with charity:water! Every time we've done so we haven't thought of better ways to celebrate our milestones.
All public donations are 100% used to fund a water project and they even show you the GPS coordinates of where they are building their wells. Each small well is $5,000 and larger ones are $10,000. Every bit helps; you can start a campaign to contribute to a well, build a well, or help charity:water celebrate their fifth birthday by helping them buy a new drilling rig. Take a look at their website; read the facts; discover the need; join us in giving clean water access and everything else it affords people to have.
