This video commemorates five years of charity:water. It’s a fine example of a young
organisation explaining the problem, demonstrating the solution, and urging viewers
to give and get involved.

“In five years, you’ve helped us fund more than 4,000 projects that will serve over
two million people around the world with clean and safe drinking water. Because 
of your generosity, some of our partners are now working at full capacity. To keep
growing, we need to give them the equipment they need to drill even more wells each
year.

“Join us by starting a campaign on mycharitywater.org. 100% of what you raise or
give during the September Campaign will help us buy a new drilling rig fleet that
can to provide clean water for 40,000 more people each year in Northern Ethiopia.
We’re turning five – help us go faster.”
