In this episode, I interview Scott Harrison, CEO of the non-profit organization charity: water. We discuss the global water crisis and how charity: water is working to provide clean water access to communities around the world.

Scott shares his story of how he went from being a nightclub promoter in New York City to volunteering with doctors and humanitarian workers in Liberia, West Africa.

He describes seeing thousands of sick people unable to get medical help, which inspired him to start charity: water to address the lack of clean water fueling disease. Scott explains how 771 million people worldwide lack access to clean water, with women and girls often bearing the burden of finding and carrying water for their families. 

So, how does Scott make a difference?

He discusses the different technologies and solutions charity: water uses to fund water projects based on each community's needs, from drilled wells to piped water systems.

Lack of clean water prevents children, especially girls, from attending school regularly. Providing water access allows more girls to get an education. Women and girls spend countless hours walking for water each day. Bringing water closer to home gives them more time for work, family, and community. 

Scott stresses that we have the ability to solve the water crisis but need the resources and will to make it happen.

He shares powerful stories that reveal the dramatic impact clean water access makes on people's health, dignity, and quality of life.

Transformational Takeaway:

While the global water crisis can seem overwhelming, this episode underscores that every one of us has the power to make a real difference through small, consistent acts of service. When we shift from self-focus to serving others, we tap into our innate compassion and humanity. What simple act of service, however small, could you engage in today to be part of the solution to the world's immense needs?
