“It's been incredible to see AmazonSmile grow, with customers now bringing clean water to over 42,000 people around the world," said Scott Harrison, Founder and CEO of charity: water. "When people gain access to clean and safe drinking water, families are healthier. Dignity is restored. Women and girls who wasted hours every day walking to collect dirty water can go to school, earn extra income, or spend more time with friends and family. The impact AmazonSmile has made is far-reaching, and we can't wait for what this community does next.”

“We’re a small, local nonprofit. With the donations we receive through AmazonSmile we are able to provide a pair of ballet shoes to every boy and girl with physical needs who comes to our program with a seemingly impossible dream to dance,” said Joann Ferrara, Founder of Dancing Dreams.

AmazonSmile helps a dance group for physically challenged children raise funds for students' dance shoes.
