A lot happened at charity: water in 2011, so we put some extra TLC into our 2011 annual report. We also decided that this was the year to go digital, so we made it a website! Read all about the events, milestones and stories that made last year unforgettable. Launch the 2011 Annual Report ยป

Today, charity: water turns six! Our team is in Rwanda right now where work is underway thanks to our September Campaign supporters. We’re preparing to turn your donations into clean, safe water for 26,000 people. Check out this video, sent straight from the field, and join us.
Now, you can follow the rig’s day-to-day progress and check its location via Twitter.
Today is World Water Day, where people around the globe recognize the need for clean drinking water. We’re using today to talk about… birthdays.
Five and a half years ago, charity: water began with a birthday party. Founder Scott Harrison gave up his 31st birthday gifts and asked for donations to water projects instead. He used 100% of the money to fund clean water for communities in northern Uganda. Since then, we’ve made it our goal to bring clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries.
We believe birthdays can change the world, but don’t just take it from us… take it from the people who have given up their birthdays for clean water before! Watch our fundraisers explain how their birthdays have changed the world:
