👾 My own experience with limited clean water sources👾
It was my first time seeing families digging water from wells, as well as women and men taking showers in a murky lake. 2 days into the camp, my eye got infected and swelled immensely (picture: http://bit.ly/2fuurzW). Thankfully I recovered in a few days.
The village was lucky enough to have the support from a social enterprise which built a water filtration system for the entire village, serving clean water to hundreds of villagers and myself.
🙈 Buy THEM a SHOT, not me. 🙈
I’m turning 24 this year. #AnotherYearWasted #WhatHaveIDoneInLife Instead of buying me an overpriced vodka shot (made of clean water), taking me to a water park (made of clean water) or buying me a cute (and usually unnecessary) gift, why don’t you guys buy people in need a Big Shot Of #CleanWater ?
🌞 Clean Water = Luxury to Many = Health 🌞
Many people around the world still don’t have the luxury of clean water. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Every $30USD = 1 person will get access to clean water
👨🔬 charity: waters’ Solution👨🔬
There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
100% of the money that you donate will be used to build clean water projects. When they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
🐶 How can you help? 🐶
Donation: You can donate as little as $1 USD.
I’d recommend you guys giving $10, i.e. 0.6 beer 🍺 in Singapore, 3 tacos🌮 in Austin, 3 dim sums🍘 in Hong Kong and 1 bottle of wine🍷 in France, only :)
Share: Share with your friends on social media!
🤥Isn’t charity just an illusion?🤥
This is a fantastic concern and I believe everyone needs to think twice before they give. I’ve picked charity: water because of its 100% donation model and its incredible transparency. Charity Navigator gives charity: water a full 4 out of 4 stars, and an overall rating of 92.29 out of 100 - with an Accountability & Transparency score of a maximum of 100.
P.S. Let’s turn alcohol money into clean water. ✌️Ahh.. Aren’t you excited for the photos of the wells that they’ll send us? Donate now!
This is such a great initiative Hilton, happy birthday xo
