Southern California Water Charity Celebrates Clean Water Solutions Highlighted by MrBeast's Viral Video
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Laguna Beach, CA [November 2023] – The recent viral video by MrBeast, showcasing the life-changing impact of boreholes in Kenyan villages, has brought global attention to a cause close to our hearts. Southern California based water charity, With My Own Two Hands (WMO2H), applauds this spotlight on the urgent need for clean water in remote African communities—a mission that WMO2H has been dedicated to for over 12 years.
As a leader in water scarcity solutions, WMO2H has successfully drilled 16 deep, long-lasting boreholes, transforming the daily lives of 120,000 individuals across 54 villages and large-scale communities. However, WMO2H's approach goes beyond just providing water; they empower communities with the tools for sustainable water management, hygiene education, and climate-friendly agriculture opportunities.
In the story of the women-led Osiligi Mara Foundation, showcased in WMO2H's newest short documentary, The Water Between Us, residents now enjoy clean drinking water for the first time in decades. However, it is the rigorous vetting, stable community buy-in exercises, and reinvestment trainings that have fostered true, vibrant success in their water and agriculture micro-enterprises. This is just one example of the profound impact their work has. Through collaboration with local leaders, they are not just drilling wells but also nurturing hope.
Together, let's turn inspiration into action! We encourage everyone moved by MrBeast’s powerful message to join WMO2H in their fight for a more equitable world. Your support can help us extend their reach to more communities, touching more lives with the precious gift of water.
For more insights into their work and to learn how you can be part of the solution, please contact Kelsie Lee, Advancement Associate, at kelsie@withmyown2hands.org.
Together, we can build on this momentum. Let's turn awareness into action and ensure that no community goes without clean water.
