My Charity Water: Splash Zone
Stories are a constant source of inspiration for us and ultimately the vision that keeps us alive. We can’t wait to finally build a web platform that allows you to tell the stories of change that your a part of creating.
Here is a really incredible story.
Laura Surovik has been incredibly passionate about life saving work of Charity: Water for some time now. She’s an incredible woman with so much passion about the need for clean water in developing countries. About a year ago she was able to Visit africa with her daughter and was even more inspired by her vision of helping bring clean water to people there. Just a few short months back she started a My Charity Water Campaign and a few weeks ago and it was COMPLETELY FUNDED! AND THEN SOME! She helped raise $5,000 to build a well in Africa for a village in dire need of clean water.
Knowing Laura and knowing how dear this mission has been to her heart it’s incredibly encouraging to see the start of her vision coming to fruition. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Laura and the things she will do for clean water.
Please check out here My Charity Water page! What an incredible accomplishment and what a beautiful amount of work to continue on with. If you don’t know about Charity: Water and their mission, please take a watch at this video and learn!
