Charity:water 2

 (cont'd from yesterday's post)

"At 28 years old, Scott Harrison had it all. A top nightclub promoter in New York City, his life was an endless cycle of drugs, booze, models—repeat. But 10 years in, desperately unhappy and morally bankrupt, he asked himself, "What would the exact opposite of my life look like?" 

Working for a medical charity ship in Africa gave him the opposite of his NYC life.

He saw African women walking for hours every day to carry water home to their families. He saw children get sick from it. He got their water analyzed, and sometimes it was alive with disease-causing bacteria. 



He found out what it would take to get clean water to these villages and became obsessed with making it available to millions who don't have it. A new charity was born - it's called "charity:water" and he's still CEO/founder today.

A natural promoter, he put his talents to work on a global project to accomplish something good.
