Good News: Goodness is growing

Clean water transforms everything it touches. Clean water transforms everything it touches. [April Good News: From Your Pals in Nepal]( Last October, members of our Creative team traveled to Nepal to visit our local partners at Helvetas. There, our team witnessed the impact of clean water on women and girls first-hand. With piped systems transporting clean water from alpine streams directly into people’s homes, the arduous walk for water has been almost completely eliminated. Women and girls can finally study for school, complete household tasks, or rest. The daily hike — sometimes carrying women five or six hours from home — has been replaced by hope as women look to the days ahead. That’s the kind of transformation you inspire every time you give. While in Nepal, our team filmed this short video of gratitude. Now that we’re celebrating ending 6,400 walks for World Water Day on March 22, we can’t think of a better time to share.
