CHARITY: WATER-by Diego Fernández

CHARITY: WATER

The charity I most support is called “Charity: Water” which is a foundation that helps out bringing clean and safe drinking water to those people in countries which are under development, by building clean water infrastructure such as wells and water filtrations.

There is a great deal of people which have to travel hundreds and thousands of miles to fetch dirty and infected water while we only have to open the tap on our kitchens in our houses and clean water comes out. There are very few people who really appreciate this and a lot of them belong to this project. They help people saving time (in going to fetch water), having a better education (helps keeping kids in school), women empowerment (in Africa 72% of women are in charge of collecting water), …etc

I think this charity is the greatest out of all, as it really thinks about other people which are suffering. In the web of this charity we can see how much they care about all those poor people. I find this so unique, as there are many people today who think about it once, but this charity thinks and cares about the unfortunate people every day, fighting every day more and I find it amazing!

I also find it incredible as they find loads of different and creative ways of a possible donation like raising funds in someone’s birthday in which the person decides not to receive gifts and so friends and family donate to this charity water. The charity also allows you to get involved and volunteer to fundraising, which is really great.

I also find it astonishing that they have already started this helping process with 20 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. They have already saved lives of 5,600,00 people all over the places mentioned before, that’s a great amount of people!
