56. The story of charity: water - The 2009 September C…
2 years ago
In just over four years, the organization has now raised more than $35 million through the help of 200,000 donors and helped more than 1.7 million people in 17 countries get access to clean and safe drinking water. We're just getting started.

This video was created in September of 2009 to launch a new website called mycharitywater.org. It's a place where people can give up their birthdays or gifts for the holidays.. run, swim, walk... do just about anything to help those in need get clean water to drink.

    You guys have the best graphics/typography/ad designs I've seen. Such a great sense of style and simplicity matched with smart production choices and a young, fresh approach, on top of the great work you're doing. Everything from the tank display design to your website to the china balls hanging in your office. Awesome idea for the dinner table commercial, great photography and video production values. PERFECT all around!

    I was in Ethiopia for the past month. It was awesome to see several CHARITY: WATER signs posted in villages next to new wells all across the countryside.

    So, to anyone wondering if it's really happening, I was just there not even looking for well projects and Charity: Water well projects jumped out at me everywhere. Lots of blessed people's faces all across Ethiopia. Thanks be to God!
