According to World Vision, approximately 703 million people lack access to clean water—that’s one in 10 people on the planet. Clean water is often taken for granted, and millions of people face the daily struggle of finding safe and reliable sources of hydration. Amidst this global challenge, one organization stands out for its unwavering commitment to transforming lives through the power of clean water—Charity Water.

As Mueshi’s Nonprofit Highlight of the Month, we're thrilled to spotlight Charity Water and the incredible work they do to bring clean, safe drinking water to communities in need around the world.

The Mission of Charity Water:

Founded in 2006 by Scott Harrison, Charity Water is a nonprofit organization on a mission to solve the global water crisis. Its approach is simple yet effective: Charity Water funds and implements sustainable water projects in developing countries, focusing on rural areas and marginalized communities.

The Impact of Clean Water:

The impact of clean water extends far beyond hydration. Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of public health, education, and economic development. When communities have access to clean water, they experience:

• Improved Health: Clean water prevents waterborne diseases, reduces child mortality rates, and improves overall health outcomes.

• Enhanced Education: Children, especially girls, are freed from the burden of collecting water, allowing them to attend school regularly and pursue their education.

• Empowered Communities: Access to clean water enables communities to grow crops, raise livestock, and start small businesses, leading to economic empowerment and self-sufficiency.

Charity Water's Approach:

What sets Charity Water apart is its commitment to transparency, accountability, and innovation. The organization works closely with local partners and stakeholders to identify water challenges and implement sustainable solutions tailored to each community's unique needs. From drilling wells and installing water filtration systems to constructing rainwater harvesting systems, Charity Water employs a variety of methods to ensure access to clean water for all.

How You Can Make a Difference:

Organizations like Charity Water need your support! One angle that businesses and brands don’t play often is using a percentage of the proceeds of their sales to help nonprofits fundraise. According to the National Council of Nonprofits, “ 64% of nonprofit budgets depend on insidious donors.” Your contributions to charitable causes and nonprofit organizations can change this statistic, help nonprofits diversify their income source, and impact the lives of individuals and families on a massive scale.

Mueshi - leading the charge in the nonprofit fundraising industry, is revolutionizing how nonprofits fundraise by partnering brands and businesses with charitable causes and nonprofit organizations for product-based fundraising.
