Design Hotels Originals.
Design Hotels™ is committed to originals, whether they are from the hotel or design worlds, or are individuals who have simply found a better way to serve mankind like Scott Harrison and charity: water. With this in mind, Design Hotels™ is inviting its customers, hotel members, and friends to share in the joy of donating to this cause. Our goal is to build as many wells as possible, and improve the life of as many people as possible.

Keep in touch with charity: water through Design Hotels™ to see how many people we have helped through working together, and to see the progress on the two freshwater walls in the Ivory Coast that we donated. Also, keep up with Scott Harrison´s travels, and the development that the organization is making through the Travel Diaries published on the Design Hotels™ website.

Right now, 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us. Design Hotels™ is partnering with charity: water to help change that. Design Hotels™ has pledged its support to charity: water by financing the drilling of two wells in Côte d'Ivoire, and is now proud to give you the opportunity to pledge your support as well!

The water crisis.

1.1 billion people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us. 80% of all disease is attributable to the lack of water and basic sanitation. Unsafe water claims more lives each year than war. Learn more >

How you can help.

You can help us build wells. A freshwater well costs $5,000 and can serve an average of 250 people with clean, safe drinking water for 20 years. Just $20 serves one person with clean, safe drinking water. Donate >
