The read Glen’s take, in his words
Families in developing countries don't need charity — they need access. Water.org figured that out. Instead of handouts, they provide small affordable loans so families can build their own water connections and toilets at home. Sixty million people now have safe water because of that one idea. It's one of the most elegant solutions I've come across — dignified, sustainable, and it works. When I found this organization, it reframed everything I thought I knew about solving the water crisis. Take a look at what they've built.
