above is a link for "charity: water" website. the founder of this organization is Scott Harrison. his story is compelling so visit the link to read and watch a video.
Scott started his life in New York as a partier and a night clubber. He was a musician and him and his band were payed by Budweiser to drink their beer in public. It was years later that he was on cocaine and ecstasy while getting drunk with his buddies on the beach when he realized where his life was at. He didn't like how it looked. So he then decided to reach out ot organizations like World Vision. He longed to revive his christian faith too. So he got accepted to an organization called mercy ships. Mercy ships took large hospital ships out to povertous parts of Africa and performed surgeries for people with be-nine facial tumors. He spent two years with this missions organization and it changed his life. He took millions of photos of people with life threatening tumors. This influenced him to start an organization himself to help those who can not help themselves. One-sixth of the worlds population does not have acces to clean water and get sick and die all the time because of it. He took this idea and created "charity: water." This organization goes to these places in Africa where there is no clean water and builds wells and rain water catchers and water purifyers for cities and towns without it. Schools now have clean water. Mothers can now give their children clean water. People can wash and get clean and rid themselves of diseases now with this clean water. All it took was the compassion and sympathy of one person. One idea.
