For my Friday gratitude, I was thinking about how much I take clean water for granted.
It automatically comes from my faucet at will. I can take hot showers when I want, wash clothes, cook all without a thought about where my water comes from and how it is cleaned.
There are so many parts of the world where water is scarce. Over 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water.
This is Water Poverty.
So I wanted to recognize these five water charities that are working to change this equation.
Generosity.org—was completed over 800 water projects in 20 countries impacting half a million people. “ Our goal is to move from a place where communities rely upon us, to a place where communities utilize the tools that we provide to become proud and progressive stewards of their own destiny.”
Pure Water for the World—works in Central America and the Caribbean provide children and families with the tools and education to develop sustainable water, hygiene, and sanitation solutions. They provide families with water filtration systems, latrines, and safe drinking water, along with sanitation education.
Blood:Water is a nonprofit that partners with African grassroots organizations to bring clean water and HIV/AIDS support to one million people in 11 countries.
Water for Good works with communities in the Central African Republic to establish sanitation best practices, improve agriculture, and empower people to create sustainable clean water access. Their current campaign is to mobilize children to contribute to clean water funding and solutions.
Charity Water is bringing safe and clean water to families around the world. e believe that sustainable work is locally-led. Along with implementing community-owned water projects, our local partners help facilitate comprehensive water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programming to protect everyone’s long-term health. They have done 79,000 plus water projects reaching 13.2 million people in 29 countries.
Now You: Have you thought about your access to water?
