Over the course of my life, I’ve been blessed to see so much of this planet. But the experiences that have affected me most profoundly have happened far from the stage.
Out of all the challenges I’ve seen humanity face, lack of clean water has been the most catastrophic. It affects health, livelihood, and access to education, especially for girls.
In 2010, I donated my birthday to charity: water. Together, we were able to fund eight water projects in Ethiopia. I even had the opportunity to visit those communities and see the difference clean water had made with my own eyes!
That is why I’m so passionate about charity: water’s mission to end the global water crisis in our lifetime, and why I am so proud to be sharing their mission with you today. By giving clean water, each of us can make the human experience better for someone else. I hope you’ll join us.
You deserve to give with confidence. 100% of public donations directly fund clean water projects. But we don’t stop there. From our financials, to our tech, to the environmental sustainability of our water projects: “good enough” is
never
