What inspired the clean water mission?
Sources:
The inspiration behind the clean water mission came from Scott Harrison's experiences while traveling in West Africa, particularly in Liberia. As a former nightclub promoter, his exposure to the stark contrast between the excess of his previous life and the struggle of the locals drinking contaminated water deeply impacted him. He saw first-hand the severe health issues caused by the lack of clean drinking water. This realization was heightened by an interaction with Dr. Gary, who encouraged him to redirect his focus towards providing clean water globally, highlighting the profound impact it could have on public health and quality of life. Motivated by these experiences, Scott Harrison founded Charity Water with the goal of bringing clean and safe drinking water to every person on the planet 1.
