Celebrity Matt Damon launches new partnership for clean water.
Academy award-winning American actor Matt Damon, who is also a philanthropist and founder of the charity H2O Africa, has teamed up with WaterPartners’ co-founder, Gary White, to form a new non-profit organization called Water.org. The goal of their humanitarian effort is to provide access to safe drinking water for hundreds of millions of people in developing countries. Mr. Damon said, “Every 15 seconds, a child in the developing world dies from water-related disease... As a clear leader in the sector at delivering innovative and sustainable solutions for those in need, WaterPartners was the natural choice with whom to work to truly affect lasting change.”
Heaven bless you abundantly, Mr. Matt Damon, for your beneficial partnership formed through Water.org. May your sincere and shining star bring abundant new promise to the lives of many.
In honor of this noble humanitarian endeavor, Supreme Master Ching Hai is offering Matt Damon and Water.org US$50,000, along with a Letter of Salute for the good cause.
