Thanks to the unstoppable charity: water community, we closed December — and 2024 — with incredible news. We set out to bring clean water to 50,000 people, and you went above and beyond. 6,000 of you came forward to fund clean water for 72,000 people in just one month. | | | | Thanks to a generous family committed to showing the power of giving, every donation from the first $1 million raised on our website was tripled. Together, this incredible effort helped bring clean, safe water to a grand total of 122,000 people. | And that's still not all. | This past year, your support propelled us past a major milestone: 20 million people will have access to clean and safe water. That’s 20 million lives transformed through your generosity since 2006. | | | | | | | | Behind every massive number: | 122,000 people in December 1.6M people in 2024 20M people over the past 18 years | is a story of hope, resilience, and the unstoppable power of generosity. It’s a reminder that when we unite for clean water, the results are nothing short of extraordinary. Impact figures are estimated using the average cost per person of $40. Figures may change during the completion of water projects. | | | | | | | Thank you for making 2024 unforgettable. Now, let’s keep going. | There are still 703 million people without clean water — but we just witnessed what happens when we work all together. By joining The Spring, our monthly giving community, you can keep that momentum going year-round. Monthly gifts are reliable – meaning The Spring enables us to fund our local partners with confidence and make the best long-term investments in rural communities. | Because of you, clean water — and the opportunities it creates — is reaching more people than ever before. We are so grateful for your support and can’t wait to see what we accomplish in 2025. – your friends at charity: water | | | | | | 230 Franklin Rd., Ste. 11-II, Franklin, TN 37064 | | | | | |
