Why Jack Irvine is fundraising for clean water

Hi everybody,

Coming up to my birthday an thought this would make a nice change. Fae what I've seen, Charity:water has done some really amazing work in worse aff countries and have a lot planned for the future (depending on funding). About £20 provides a water supply for one person. I've set a $500 goal which would provide water for 16 folk, thinkin thats a fair bit better than what I could do wi it.

Any donations would be fantastic, whatever amount 👍
Many thanks, all appreciated

More info from charity: water:
663 million people in the world live without clean water.
That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Or, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.
But access to clean water means education, income and health - especially for women and kids.

We work with local experts and community members to find the best sustainable solution in each place where we work, whether it’s a well, a piped system, a BioSand Filter, or a system for harvesting rainwater. And with every water point we fund, our partners coordinate sanitation and hygiene training, and establish a local Water Committee to help keep water flowing for years to come.

Every $1 invested in clean water can yield $4–$12 in economic returns.
It’s a solid investment; access to clean water is perhaps the single most powerful tool for sparking economic growth that humanity has ever known.
