Two months ago, we kicked off a charity project via Facebook:
“trivago: water for all”. From 1st to 31st October, for
each new ‘like’ of our official fan page, trivago donated $ 1 to Charity:Water. Thanks to your active participation we were able to donate $ 8,362 to this
non-profit organisation, which provides safe drinking water to communities in developing
countries.
With this donation and the participation of other
fundraisers, we were able to contribute towards the $1,200,000 required to buy
a drilling rig. This fundamental piece of equipment makes it possible for the
organisation´s partners on the ground to carry out even more water projects
each year, providing clean water to communities in need.
What’s next? Right now, the drilling
rig is being shipped to Northern Ethiopia with the goal of drilling an average
of about 80 new wells per year. This means the new drilling rig enables
Charity:Water’s partners to provide an extra 40,000 people with access to
life’s most basic necessity each year.
We are very proud to give our little contribution to
this inspirational charity and would like to say a big Thank You to all of you for
your help. In the next few months, we will be tracking the drilling rig’s
progress, with maps and photos of its projects. We are really excited!
