One of American Express’s recent videos in their Passion Project campaign features the story of how Scott Harrison started charity:water. Living the life of a nightclub promoter, Scott was unhappy and felt like he needed to do something more. After learning about the need for clean water around the world, Harrison decided he wanted to help.

With that and a promise to show his friends where all the money went, charity:water was born.
