My discussion with Harrison also touched on a potential partnership between TrooRa magazine and charity: water. By leveraging our platform, we aim to amplify their storytelling and outreach strategies. This collaboration is seen as a natural extension of TrooRa’s mission to highlight meaningful stories and drive positive change. Both TrooRa Magazine and charity: water share a strong commitment to sustainability and humanism. While at TrooRa we offer a complementary digital edition heralding an eco-conscious era, the tactile joy of flipping through a physical magazine carries deeper meaning. Each print copy sold plants a tree in reforestation zones in Ghana, Thailand, or the Philippines through our partnership with Click A Tree, contributing to a verdant future. This dedication will be further supported by donations from TrooRa’s print subscriptions to charity: water, reinforcing the shared goal of driving positive change in communities worldwide. Their 100% Model has been a game- changer in the nonprofit sector. The organization has built a foundation of trust and transparency by ensuring that 100 percent of public donations go directly to fund clean water projects. This model is supported by a dedicated group of private donors who cover all operating costs, from staff salaries to office expenses. This approach has inspired confidence and encouraged more people to contribute to the cause, knowing their donations are making a direct impact. Proving their impact has always been a priority for charity: water, from the start, they have publicly shared photos and GPS coordinates for every single project, ensuring complete transparency. This level of accountability has been crucial in maintaining donor trust and showcasing the tangible outcomes of their contributions. The stories from the field are filled with inspiring examples of ingenuity and perseverance. These narratives highlight the influence of clean water and showcase the resilience and resourcefulness of the people in these communities. One such story is Helen’s, from northern Uganda, who started a baking business after gaining back forty-nine hours a week previously spent collecting water. This extra time allowed her to earn money to pay for school uniforms and secure an education for her children.
