August 1, YouTube Star Mrbeast (Jimmy Donaldson) and colleague creator Mark Rober, launched #teamwater, a global fundraiser to win $ 40 million in August 31. Objective: Provide clean water for 2 million people, with $ 1 giving one person one year of water.
During the press, the campaign has already provided more than 6 million years of water services to communities in need. It participates in more than 3,000 creators in 84 countries and use their platforms to raise awareness and funds.
Funds obtained through #Teamwater are mainly on Wateraid, non -profit organizations with four decades of experience in building long -term water infrastructure. Projects include solar wells, rainwater collection systems, rain and desalination systems and gravitational pipes, all designed and maintained by local communities that will last for decades.
Other charity partners Givepower, Digdeep and Alok Foundation help to implement projects in places like Kenya, Brazil, Malawi, Bangladesh, Ecuador and the USA (including Jackson, Mississippi and Rural West Virginia).
According to the United Nations, since 2022, more than 2 billion people have lacked safely managed by drinking water, and by 2040 up to 4.5 billion people could face lack of water.
#Teamwater aims to solve this urgent crisis by combining the range of the global creator with the solution of the real world. Critics of past campaigns, such as #Teamtrees and #teamseas, notice the needs of deeper engagement, but Teamwater partners with Wateraid focus on community planning and maintenance, so the changes are sustainable, not temporary.
The campaign builds on previous successes Mrbeast and Rober, #Teamtrees and #teamseas, which helped to plant 20 million trees and remove more than 30 million pounds of ocean garbage, gaining a total of more than $ 50 million.
