For this episode, David is joined by Hannah Bellamy, the MD of Charity: Water UK, whose mission is to bring clean water to the 703 million people living without it. Hannah explains how they tailor their solution to each community, and then monitor and maintain it to ensure the long-term availability of clean water.

Hannah explains how using diverse funding approaches enables them to ensure that 100% of what members of the public donate is spent on installing water infrastructure. She also talks about how the charity is structured, its culture, processes, fundraising methods, and entrepreneurial approach.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lack of clean water and sanitation is the leading killer of children under 5. 
Providing that clean water is possible for every part of the world. When we do that, we drastically cut the death rate.
Providing clean water transforms lives in many different ways.
Not having to collect water frees up time for education and, for adults, for work that pays.
Tapping into local knowledge and creating tailored solutions has been key to Charity: Water´s success.
Using sensors enables them to monitor how well each system is working. An approach that makes Charity Water fully accountable and highly effective.
The vision doesn´t change, but the goals underneath it that fulfil the vision do evolve.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Everything starts with water… nothing is actually possible without clean water.’

‘It comes down really to cultural processes, systems.’

‘There is a certain fluidity and autonomy into how you get there.’

‘It's not just about an organization. I think it's how different people work together.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
