“Since I founded One Drop in 2007, I have dreamed of a world where everyone would have access to safe water. Millions of people share this dream, and each with their own means contribute energy, knowledge, and crucial funds. As a result, although there’s still tremendous work to be done, the situation has improved. Now more than ever, let’s continue and even scale our efforts until we reach our common goal. Together, let’s make the world a better place.’’
