MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT — Charity:Water
Charity:Water (also known as Charity Global) began in 2006 to help impoverished people groups around the world get safe, clean water and basic sanitation. The ministry employs about 100 people, but the majority of donations are sent to local partner organizations who do the actual work.
