A letter from the field by Tyler RiewerA letter from the field by Tyler Riewer Hi {NAME}, My name is Tyler Riewer and Iâm the Creative Director here at charity: water. I just wanted to share a quick update from our trip to Nepal. It has been an absolute rollercoaster over here. On top of days of travel to get to the Karnali Province, this part of the country has been experiencing significant, out-of-season, heavy rain. Massive storms have led to landslides all throughout the mountainous region where weâre currently staying. This has changed our route and itinerary more than once (and made for some extra harrowing drives). But weâve spent the past few days in a community thatâs getting access to clean water next year, and Iâm thrilled to say the impact is going to be dramatic. The available water sources here are hundreds of feet below the community. So right now, women and girls are descending the equivalent of 3-5 football fields with a traditional water vessel (called a gagri) and maybe a baby on their backâ and then climbing back up with the additional weight of the water. In the dry season (when they have to wait in line at the source) a few trips for water will cost you 6+ hours every day. Thatâs to say nothing of the climb itself. Dense brush. Narrow, slippery paths. Rocky footing that you canât take your focus off of. Snakes. Thereâs just no question that clean water will change everything here, especially with access at a household level. Every woman and girl weâve talked to has known exactly how sheâll use that extra time. For multitasking at home. For pursuing a job in government. For getting a PhD. Itâs been powerful. Tomorrow we head out (roads willing) to our next community. One that got clean water last yearâ thanks to our brand partner, Aveda. It will be fun to hear about the change from their perspective. I hope to update you again soon! (If we havenât been washed away by then.) In the meantime, I hope you know just how transformative your support is for the people here. From Nepal with care, Tyler PO Box 5026, Hagerstown, MD 21741-5026 [Update My Preferences]( | [View In Browser](
