Scott Harrison's outlook was transformed by exposure to conditions while on vacation abroad. He worked for an international charity that provided urgently needed medical care to developing countries. He founded Charity: Water to dig wells in developing countries and used marketing skill and online technology to provide aide to existing organizations that could dig the wells.
