In December, we asked you to show up. Could the charity: water community bring clean water to 50,000 people in just a month?
As it turns out, the answer is an emphatic yes.
Not only did you come together to raise enough funds to bring clean water to 50,000 people, but you went above and beyond. Thanks to nearly 6,000 supporters, we funded enough clean water to serve 61,826 people.
That’s enough people to fill Madison Square Garden three times over.
I speak for the entire charity: water team when I say that, while we’re never surprised by your generosity, we’re always impressed.
And somehow, this is just another chapter in the story you’re writing. It’s a story of hope, resilience, and commitment. It’s a reminder that when you show up, everything changes. Not just for 61,826 people last month, but for over 20 million people in the last 19 years.
Thank you for consistently choosing to act. We’re preparing an even bigger celebration of your impact in 2025 (that’s right, you're getting more than just an email blurb), so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox for more details.
Cheers to you, and cheers to making 2026 our best chapter yet!
