melin x With My Own Two Hands
Last Giving Tuesday we partnered up with our friends at With My Own Two Hands to shed light on the world water crisis and help provide a lifetime of clean drinking water for hundreds of people in East Africa. As they work to create a more equitable world through water and agriculture, they’ve been able to positively impact 181,308 lives across 72 communities in East Africa.
A little goes a long way, WMO2H has been hard at work creating a long term, transformative impact for people through water and agriculture. The clean water supplied sets off a ripple effect in nutrition, hygiene, education, opportunity and so much more. With a shared commitment to long term sustainability, we’re proud to support this organization.

No one should have to walk miles for water. Millions of women and children in East Africa walk 3.7 miles just to get water. Today, on World Water Day, we are donating to our friends at With My Own Two Hands to bring clean water closer to home.
