Making a Difference:
a little water at a time

Did you know that one person dies every 15 seconds of a water-related disease or that about one billion people in the world live without access to clean, safe drinking water? Scott Harrison didn't. About 8 years ago, Scott was living in a fancy flat in New York City and driving an expensive car. He had a great job promoting nightclubs and events. Life was easy and fun for Scott, yet he felt very empty inside because his life had no real purpose. So he decided to do something about it. Scott volunteered on a floating hospital with an organisation called Mercy Ships which offers free medical care to the world's poorest countries. Doctors and other technical staff from around the world leave their jobs and work for free helping thousands of people who need medical care. Scott went to Liberia, Africa. He took the position of photojournalist. What Scott saw there changed his life. He was shocked to see thousands and thousands of people waiting in a queue every day for medical attention. Some of them had very serious medical problems. What Scott realised in his two years of service with Mercy Ships was that about 80% of all the diseases they encountered were due to unsafe water and poor sanitation. Scott returned to New York City with a mission: he would form a charity to provide clean water in poor countries. Scott founded an organisation called 'Charity Water' on the night of his 31st birthday. He threw a huge party. Instead of gifts, he asked his guests to donate money to his new charity. He raised 15,000 dollars that night, which went to fixing and building wells in Uganda. Scott used his natural talent for promoting things to turn 'Charity Water' into a very successful humanitarian organisation. Since its beginning 'Charity Water' has provided 1.5 million people with clean water, with 3,200 projects in 17 countries. Scott's plans don't stop there. The organisation's goal is to bring clean water to 100 million people. Why do all this? According to Scott, "Guilt has never been part of it; it's the excitement of giving people the opportunity to care for their families."
