Scott Harrison: The Story of Charity : Water

[@Peg38542]

An absolutely inspiring video! Scott and his charity are so transparent and the way they are doing things are amazing! Thank you for the work that you are doing.

[@cghill1080]

Yeah so transparent that they take 60% for themselves

[@tafadzwamafumbate6593]

Scott Harrison...you've earned my respect, and to these people and more,you're God send.

[@ejcayabyab]

Scott Harrison, this is an amazing story. God blessed you with a big heart and a powerful vision. May He continue to bless and lead you as you carry on a noble deed. Such an admirable life! I'm glad you had a timely and wonderful turn around. Will keep you and your family in my prayers.

[@GGLMalan]

What an inspirational story! Your life transformed from selfishness into practically serving others that need our help. May you accomplish your goal and more. I love the creative way you rally everyone behind this cause and keep it so very transparent. You are right, it all starts with the basic necessities, clean water being the first., I have lived in Africa all my life and have seen the difficult circumstances many, especially rural people have to live in. Helping people so they can start fending for themselves, instead of them becoming dependent on our help, should be a key factor in our strategies when we reach out to people that are destitute anywhere. It is also going to take an effort of great collaboration between as many role players as possible to move in behind the clean water and help with the food, health care, education, the new jobs, the alternative energy, etc. Keep it up and grow from strength to strength!

@Gawie Malan Hey there,just read your comment and you are so right.instead of people hoping they will get help,or depending on them (I know they don't choose to do this & the government let's them down). But you are right,help these people with the basics they need to survive,teach & educate them how to maintain what they have got. And watch them grow. The amount of money that has been raised for certain charities & yet we still see no change..and it's true many people,me included don't trust many of these charities. Yes I understand they have to pay overheads for work travel & necessities,but look how much money has been raised over the years & things are still no better.yes I get providing food parcels and aid. But look how people are treated who give this aid,how many of these people have been killed,just because they are helping.we don't hear half of it. But we need to help educate,so people can maintain that life. Have a beautifull day,takecare.xx

To all of those who agree or disagree... get up , get inspired by ego or not and do something for someone or cause that you really care about whether if for the homeless in LA or for food insecurity... just do something about it... read, do research, tell others, donate , start at organization. Anything that keep you inspired

scott harrison, gracias por todo, me enseñaste a cambiar mi perspectiva. con 39 años estoy dispuesto a hacer algo por quien lo necesita.

[@CleanCharityCreativeIsland]

First time Mike Dooley told me this,I really felt so thoughtful untilled cry. So sad to heard about them ,really mercy to them.

[@alrodin2317]

Trully remarkable lesson of compassion. I did not know that the cost was on average $3 million per person a year to provide them with sustainable source of clean water ($360/10 ppl/12yr).

[@SaraAzam-bd6]

I absolutely love charity water

[@myascrazyworld6146]

Our country was sick until we had clean water as well!, The biggest reason we have less disease is because of clean water!

[@samanthabecker2116]

I am so excited to become apart of this organization. Please contact me if you have some time so that I may volunteer!

[@whatyoudo9773]

thats great, their are an estimated 60k homeless in LA alone, no food no medicine, no bathrooms they dont just need water they need everything and this country continues to poor money into the farthest away countries it can find, does anybody really believe that if you took one of these African villagers, brought them to America, let them go homeless and begging on the corner that anyone would raise money or skip Christmas for them?? No, we want someone to save that is not mentally disturbed but having all of modern-lifes gifts is what leads to the disturbed part. Yes these people need clean water but they dont need cities and planes and cell-phones to lead them to glory, we will reject them once they are enough like us.

[@cghill1080]

It isn't a charity when you spend 60% on yourselves

[@E-Kat]

Omg, did you google it? I’m still watching. I know of charities in England spending about 90% on themselves and that’s totally legal!

[@angelajackson3402]

I went to your website to request a water project in a specific community. Your website flat out said no. No way to contact you directly. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE YOUR CHARITY IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angelajackson3594]

@@bossman5101 Its not for me...how presumptuous. The request is for the 1,000 of Native Americans in the United States that are currently living with out running water.

He wants to be regarded as a saviour, image oriented one too. No Rolex but his mind is exactly the same. Something is very fishy here. 🙁

[@breadline.4984]

Philanthropic scams are emerging everywhere.they always start with i had everything than bla bla i got touched by god and they profit from it.and Africa is pretty good example of fake charities.one has to know philosophy od philanthropy to understand.this guy is not a saviour same as bill gates or Samaritans purse.its a scam,at it finnest.shortly

[@dougspindler4947]

Any one see how much Scott Harrison’s making? His salary is $140,000 /yr and and additional $180,000 as the Chief Operating Officer (COO). I wonder how much of his money he has donated to Charity Water?

[@bossman5101]

Doug Spindler his salary comes from different big sponsors, companies not from the normal donation.

[@dougspindler4947]

@@bossman5101 That's not what the financial records show. Are you saying he's committing financial fraud? Needs to be investigated.

[@bossman5101]

Doug Spindler No, his salary, his staff salaries and any other expenses comes from donors known as “The Well” they are prestigious family and big brands. Any public donations goes 100% into the projects and provides clean water 💧.

[@dougspindler4947]

@@bossman5101 Where are you getting your information? Is that what he's telling you? Or is that what the financial records show? My salary information comes from the public financial records. I hope you are not saying he has two sets of financial records.

[@renejoehnke836]

@@dougspindler4947 Don't know what records you're looking at Doug :D. But check out both the Annual Audits and the audits of the 100% model here: www.charitywater.org/about/financials. Also, in my mind, Scott and everyone at CW should be earning a lot more for what they do. If the CEO of sugar water company can make millions and millions a year, why can't the founder/CEO of a charity that helps improve the lives of thousands, if not millions, of people every year? :)

[@jennwill80]

I don't believe he had some sort emotional/moral/existensial crisis. I think his ego simply got so big once he "mastered" the hedonistic world of 20 somethings (that we are taught to aspire to), he no longer felt a challenge and his ego said he must master something "respectful" in his 30s and 40s...isn't that the "growth" that we aspire to in our Western society? He is still stroking his ego, simply the materials have changed. He's still working the same privileged crowd.

[@edeancozzens3833]

Are you insane? The most twisted logic I've seen all week. So you really think you can judge the motivations of someone you don't even know? What do you expect him to do, lay down and die, or do nothing at all? Since you are so perfect, please enlighten us as to what a superior person like you looks and thinks like. So what are you doing to make the world better? So your message is that we should all just sit and do nothing until we are as perfect as you?

[@evelynball9043]

You really think that? Why? I disagree.

[@wheresmycrownyo]

What happened to you that made you like this?

[@dudzi30]

I dont think one thing excludes the other. Yes he had a moral crisis and a need to change his life. But also, hes a driven person who enjoys success. Who doesnt? Everyone has an ego of some sort. The only thing that really matters is how you choose to feed it.

[@BrizzB]

I think it's great that he took this direction. He has the energy, organizational skills, social connections, time and money to do this...he's the perfect candidate to make change. Someone with less means and motivation (like 90% of the universe) will do nothing. Some men take their fortune and traffic teenage girls. Others do great things.
