The Spring - The charity: water story

In 2006, former nightclub promoter Scott Harrison set out to solve the water crisis in his lifetime.
Today, more than one million people have made it their mission too. This is all of our story.

I saw the ad was 20 minutes long and thought: "Who on earth would think it was good to pay for such a long ad? Not effective." ... 20 minutes later, I'm here writing that I am truly touched. I cried.

Bawling my eyes out right now. Ending my Tinder Gold and Sleep Cycle subscriptions and replacing them by joining The Spring.
Count your blessings, find something to cut, and do the same.
God bless the men and women bringing this light into the world.

This is one of the most captivating YouTube adverts I have ever seen. Kudos to this entire movement 👍🏼

[thoughtfulsamosa]

I'm glad I didn't click skip ad. This truly touched my heart. I hope for the best for this initiative 💖💖💖

[hezbollah]

best ad ever. period. I've NEVER been captivated like this by a humanitarian cause.

The first time I heard of charity water I was sad 😢 that I didn't have enough money to help but I am saving my money and planing on donating my 11 birthday to raise money and I plan on spreading the word about charity water, the first time I wached this video it was just an ad, but I'm glad I didn't skip the ad, because it was so sad I cried, but I stoped crying and counted all my money but I only have $2 but I told my self that I would save up my money and give it to charity water.

Never EVER watched an auto ad video all the way through before. Ever. Watched this twice. Will be donating and will be spreading it to everyone I know. And to all the people I saw on this video, doing their part, you are what humanity should be. So much respect to you all.

Wasn't really planning on bawling my eyes out tonight but here I am I suppose

This video changed my life. I was addicted to alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. Heavily. Was partying, fighting, just going completely off the wall. And it was killing me. Then I saw this, it woke me up and inspired me to change. To help people rather than just live my life for myself. I'm still on my journey but I am now two years sober, healthier and much happier. I am eternally grateful to Scott and anyone else who shares their turn around story. For people who were in the position I was in, you can turn your life around. You can. You can start by forgiving yourself and know that other people just like you have changed. This isn't the only way.

I just watched this video. It brought me to tears. I am a low income, older college student. Last semester I wrote a paper on how to bring clean water to countries that have no way to get clean water to drink and to water crops. This video spoke volumes to me. I want to do something that can bring awareness too this issue. How might I do that? Thank you for all your organization does to help people. God bless you!!!!

I nearly cried watching this as an ad. I never thought I would watch through a 20' long ad. Despite being a student, I'll register for something as small as £15/month for charity donations. You guys are working hard for a great cause! Well done!

[StefanieCastroMeza]

This is the first time I watch a full ad! And this was almost 20 minutes!!

This is also the first ad that touches my heart and made me help with the cause. God bless this beautiful

Psalm 41:1-2
Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies

[OldChingu]

This is a beautiful and honest advertisement. I can't wait to support this with my music and art in the future (full time). I believe the whole world can drink clean water. Praise God for your testimony and how incredible this organization is.

[benspartanxc]

I’ve watched this ad about 10 times and I think I cry every time the Rachel Beckwith story gets told

[sheznotfunny]

today, I got a very generous raise from my company. I was overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude, especially during a time when so many people are struggling. I wanted to celebrate by doing something good and I found this ad. I watched every second and it hit me hard. I am now a monthly donor. So many of us want to do something good but don't know how. Organizations like you not only make a difference to the ones you serve but also give us all an opportunity to give back. Thank you saving people.

[sonyajeffkaisabenjaminsuem]

Wow! I thank God that I didn't click this ad too for I needed to hear this man's It was heart breaking that his mother being the only child and young had been really sick at the time but his story has touched my heart and God knows I needed to hear it. It has blessed me. It's amazing how God can use someone that was out there doing other things going the wrong way to serve others and help them. I think he has found his calling. Love the story!!! May God bless this man and all those who have given and those who wants to but can't. Much love to you all.

My wife and I gave up our birthdays for Charity Water 10 years ago .... and haven't done so since. Just watched this video in it's entirety on a Youtube ad and have so say...wow...heartbreaking and inspiring. After I wiped the tears from my eyes, I went and setup my "The Spring" subscription. And going forward, every birthday and Christmas for me (and our kids) will be donated to this charity. Amazing job telling this story by the Charity Water team.

[carrolbronson]

Two years ago I started monthly donations to Charity Water but after 18 months I had to change my credit card and I did not realize that Charity Water had dropped off. I just saw your new video and checked my bank statement for the date I started and was surprised I had not made my donation in 6 months. So I’m joining you again to be a part of your amazing dream to change the lives and health of so many wonderful people. 0:44 Seeing their smiles at the running clean water… something I’ve alway taken for granted…brought tears .
Thank you for making this happen.
