Charity water

Scott Harrison, a friend and former NYC club promoter, now global promoter of greater good, is building sustainable sources of water in Africa, and we can all help. Through his organization charity: water, you can buy bottles of spring water and all of the money goes for others who have none. Think of it as water for water.
This season Flavorpill is sponsoring the building of a new well in Ethiopia with charity: water, and we're asking our readers to kick in half. One hundred bottles for $20 each will get us there. If more than 100 people give, we'll build more wells. One $4,000 well gives a village of hundreds clean water for 15 years.

charity: water80% of all sickness in the world is attributable to unsafe water and sanitation. charity: water is focused on addressing the problem by building clean-water wells in Ethiopia, Malawi, Uganda, and the Central African Republic.

This ProjectFlavorpill is donating $2,000 needed to build a well, and we're looking to you, dear readers, to help us raise the other half, for a total of $4,000.

How to HelpYou can participate by purchasing a virtual bottle of charity: water online. Each bottle is $20 and serves as an apt symbol of the gift you are giving. 100% of the funds go toward freshwater well projects in Africa.
