Campaigns We Love: Rebecca Grant

image

Rebecca Grant was listening to Scott Harrison tell the charity: water story on her favorite podcast, Entreleadership, when she heard the devastating story of Letikiros (the 13-year-old Ethiopian girl who took her own life after accidentally shattering the clay pot she had spent hours walking to fill with water).

Having a young daughter herself, Rebecca was inspired to give up her 39th birthday for clean water.

She started by charting all of the ways her family uses clean water — from teeth brushing to morning coffee — and shared it on Facebook. Then the donations came rolling in.

But Rebecca still couldn’t shake the image of Letikiros walking for so long, carrying such a heavy load. So she decided to up the ante and carry one of her own.

Whenever someone asked her about the Jerry Can, she handed them a card with a link to her campaign.

She was featured in her town newspaper, she’s spoken at schools, and now, she’s raised $10,840 with 106 donations.

Rebecca, you’re amazing! Thank you so much your commitment to this mission!
