Join Earth911’s Mitch Ratcliffe for a special World Water Day conversation with model and activist Georgie Badiel and Newday Impact Investing‘s Dan Keeler. If you prefer to watch the show, including the world premiere of The Georgie Badiel Foundation‘s new fundraising campaign video, visit our YouTube channel. Georgie’s team supports a network of village wells in Burkina Faso, providing clean water, solar-powered community learning centers, and gardens for over 340,000 people. The organization empowers women in the region to become engineers who install and maintain the wells, creating jobs and opportunities for girls who, like Georgie in her youth, had to trek miles to fetch water. By donating just $10 a month, you can help bring clean water to 36 people in a year.
We also speak with Dan Keeler of Newday Impact Investing, a company that allocates at least five percent of its revenue to support environmental organizations like The Jane Goodall Institute, EarthEcho International, and The Georgie Badiel Foundation. Dan discusses how regular investors can engage in environmentally responsible investing through Newday’s Ocean fund, clean water portfolio, and other financial services.
