9Matt Damon – Water.org
In 2009, Matt Damon, with the help of Gary White, created the H2O Africa Project, now called Water.org. Their mission is to provide safe water to those in need. Since it was founded, the non-profit has provided over 9 million people access to safe, clean water and sanitation. Water.org works by offering small, affordable loans to those in need. With these loans and access to safe water, people have the ability to do back to school, earn money, take care of their families, and eventually, re-pay their loans.
