Did you know that over one billion people do not have access to clean drinking water? Only 2.5% of the world’s water is freshwater. A few weeks ago we highlighted Blood:Water Mission’s efforts to build wells in Africa, and now we’d like to bring your attention to another organization that is helping to bring relief to the one in six people in the world without clean water.

charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 100% of the money raised goes directly to project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of the greatest need. They also work to raise awareness of the water crisis through events, fundraising exhibitions and other public awareness campaigns.

While this public service announcement is very powerful, we found Scott Harrison’s photos even more reveling of the actual situation in Africa and the positive impacts brought on by charity: water.
