Two years ago around Christmas time, I set up a fundraising page for charity:water to help bring clean water to people around the world. We are huge fans of this organization for many reasons.
One example of how effective charity: water is at carrying out their mission is how they follow up with every donation and communicate exactly how and where it was used. I received an email from them a few months ago letting me know that the projects that my fundraising went to have been completed. I was so impressed to see the detailed report they gave on just how this money was used!
Check out the latrine that was built at an elementary school in Ethiopia, which sounds so simple but will have an incredible impact on the people of this village. They even provide the GPS coordinates so you can see exactly where it is.
The funds also went toward a well in Ethiopia that provides clean drinking water to a village of 220 people who used to walk 2 hours to collect dirty water. Now, they walk less than 15 minutes and have an abundance of clean water! It's really cool to see also how they have taken ownership of the well.
I hope you take a minute to check these out. Some of you were part of these projects with your donations. Thank you!
