In many developing countries, millions of people, including children, endure long, arduous walks to collect contaminated water, risking disease and lost opportunities for education or income. Charity: Water, a nonprofit dedicated to ending the global water crisis, has funded over 186,000 water projects across 29 countries, transforming lives with clean, safe water. The lack of access to clean water perpetuates cycles of poverty and illness, weighing heavily on communities’ hope and health. A $10,000 grant from Ten Thousand Reasons, applied for by Piper Bradford, enabled Charity: Water to fund a new well for an entire village, providing a sustainable source of clean water and fostering healthier, brighter futures. With a 21-month implementation timeline, donors receive photos and GPS coordinates to track progress. This grant empowered Charity: Water to provide:

A new well, delivering clean and safe drinking water to a village, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.

Sustainable infrastructure with local water committees and trained mechanics, ensuring long-term access to clean water.

Improved community health and opportunities, freeing families from long water treks and enabling education and economic growth.

Thank you, Piper Bradford, for your passionate advocacy and commitment to advancing Charity: Water’s mission to bring clean water and hope to communities in need
