Charity

703 million people in the world live without clean water.

That is nearly one in ten people world­wide. Or, twice the popu­la­tion of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep chil­dren out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.

In early 2024 I started giving part of my revenue and gratuity to the nonprofit orga­ni­za­tion charity: water. Because access to clean water means educa­tion, income and health — espe­cially for women and kids.
