Charity:Water exists as a campaign to raise awareness and funds to help combat the world water crisis around the globe. Since their inception 1 year ago, Charity: Water, with the help of well-implementing non-profits abroad, has built 200 wells in 6 African nations. When those wells are up and running, 100,000 people will have access to clean, safe drinking water.

After immense success in their first year, Charity:Water is celebrating their anniversary and the birthday of founder, Scott Harrison, by asking for a donation of $32 dollars to go towards a deserving project in Kenya. The new well will provide safe water to a hospital that currently is forced to gather water directly from a muddy river nearby.
