Scott Harrison

Founder of Charity: Water

Harrison is perhaps the most successful and efficient social entrepreneurs of all time with his nonprofit organization called ‘Charity: Water’. During his visit to Liberia, this club promoter witnessed the worst tragedy; he realized that most of the illness came through unclean water. Almost a billion of them in the world do not have access to pure and clean water. Scott Harrison, through his organization delivered drinking water to more than a billion people in 17 different countries around the world. The 2011 economic crisis did not stop him, though it stopped other ventures; he said “We give away 100% of our profits. Our shareholders are people in 17 countries around the world waiting for a rig to drive into a village and provide clean water to a few hundred people living there. We use the word business so much more than nonprofit, even though that’s what we are.”
