Approximately 785 million people in the world currently live without clean water. These people without clean water most often live away from any infrastructure which means to get the clean water they have to travel quite a distance. When people have to prioritize most of their day toward traveling to get clean water, they are forced to forgo other important things, such as education and income.
Charity: water has made it their goal as a non-profit to find a sustainable solution to water in developing countries. Charity: water believes that clean water changes everything. From health to time saved to education, it all starts with clean water. Dirty water causes thousands of deaths every week, when time is spent getting clean water it is allocated away from growing food, going to school, or working a job. On top of all of this, clean water brings empowerment to women, as once they are not responsible for getting water, they are able to dedicate their time toward education, businesses, and their own future.
Although this non-profit is not specifically a Christian organization, that does not mean that its redemptive qualities are null. Any Christian with a humble heart would understand that the work that Charity: water engages in is specifically redemptive and allows for God to work in very desolate places, as a direct result of the good works of Charity: water. Thank God for the passion of the redemptive non-profits providing clean water to those in need like Charity: water.
