    [Engaged] WaterAid America

    "WaterAid is an international organization whose mission is to transform the lives of the poorest and most marginalized people by improving access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene. Through our partners, we reached over 2 million people with clean water and 3 million people with sanitation last year."

    This charity is my go-to. They work in the poorest 38 countries in the world to provide clean water, access to toilets, and hygiene education. I was raising money for them by getting pledges for a half marathon, and they contacted me to offer resources. I raised $850 in just a few months.

    The thing I really like about their website is you can see just how much impact you're making - for instance, $100 is equal to two hand pumps.

    They have a 93/100 rating by Charity Navigator.

    Clean water saves lives. Our mission is to equip people with sustainable clean water (and decent toilets and hygiene education). We were founded in 1981 and have reached 28.1 million people with clean water, 28.8 million people with decent toilets and 26 million people with hygiene education so far. Save lives today!

      Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

          We often think of food for the hungry, but water is an even more serious issue for so many people around the world. Thank you.
