The story of Charity Water
Howard Lake | 31 December 2010 | Blogs
It’s hard to imagine what a billion people looks like really, but one in six might be easier. One in six people in our world don’t have access to the most basic of human needs. Something we can’t imagine going 12 hours without.
Charles and charity: water invites you to put yourself in their shoes. Follow them on their daily journey. Carry 80 pounds of water in yellow fuel cans. Dig with their children in sand for water. Line up at a well and wait eight hours for a turn. Visit and watch at http://mycharitywater.org/charle today. Get involved.
Help those without water. $5.00( £3 ) means a lot. You can donate anonymously. Help us reach this incredible, selfless goal.

Your entire donation goes towards the charity fund – not a penny goes to the company running it or Charles.
There’s no processing fee.
If your Credit Card has points, you get extra points!
If you’ve already donated, THANK-YOU! IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU TEN-FOLD IN 2011!
If not, please PLEASE take the time RIGHT NOW to donate at least $5.00 ( £3 Pounds ) – $20.00 ( £10 Pounds ) to this incredible cause. Just $20.00 (£ 10 Pound ) bucks gives clean, healthy drinking water to a child for an entire year, and trust us they need that $20.00 ( £10 ) more than you do! If you can give a little more than $20.00 ( £10 ) that would be much appreciated, but every little bit counts.
Have a heart this New year!
Give and Get Given!
