We take it for granted, yet clearly we shouldn't. With news of Cape Town, South Africa undergoing a water crisis, it brings that awareness that something as simple as water can go away... and other places never really even had that access to water.
For over 10 years, Charity: Water & Scott Harrison have been busy working to bring clean water too anyone who needs it. This video does an exceptional job of highlighting Scott's own environmentally history, to night club promoter and the hard life that accompanied that, to his personal quest to serve others. Through his experiences in Liberia volunteering with a service organization, transformation and education occurred--centered around dirty water and all the health issues that stem from this. For many in Africa, it also becomes an education issue as it is the girls who have to walk miles to get access to fresh, cleanish water. From this, his organization Charity: Water was born. Initially, $20 at a time. Noteworthy: 100% of all donations go to help provide water where needed.
