charity: water project update #5

By Ariana Malushi | Brand Partnerships

Thank you for your incredible support. We're excited to share more about our work in the field!

As we mentioned in the last update, funds raised through GlobalGiving will support our general water fund, so we can use your gift where it's most needed in the field. While we may not be assigning your donation to a specific project as we do on mycharity: water, rest assured 100% of what we receive will fund water projects in the areas of greatest need.

The water solutions we invest in are different for each country. They depend on each region’s water availability, culture and economic circumstances. We fit the project to what has been proven to work best in that local area.

Here are some of the types of projects that your contribution could fund:

Rainwater Catchment: gutters on rooftops direct the flow of rainfall into a sanitary holding tank.
Spring Protection: a system captures and safely stores pure water from a natural spring.
Biosand Filter: layers of sand and micro bacterial film filter out contaminants.
Gravity Fed Systems: the force of gravity feeds water into a community from an elevated source.
Drilled Well: a drilling team drills deep into the earth to reach fresh aquifers.
Hand Dug Well: skilled laborers dig up to 15 meters by hand to reach aquifers below.

Thanks again for your support!
