Over 1,000 Children 5 And Under Die Every Day From A Lack Of Healthy Drinking Water
Manage episode 518570474 series 3426988
What if your “bad day” is someone else’s dream of clean water? Sean opens his heart with a story that hits hard: mothers walking miles with 40‑pound jugs, digging into dry earth for a muddy trickle, and children under five dying from waterborne disease—thousands each day. That jarring reality becomes a mirror for our own lives, from full fridges and hot taps to the quiet privilege of safety and choice. Gratitude is the starting line; service is the race.
We walk through three practical pathways to help: local community service, building homes just across the border in Mexico, and joining Team World Vision to fund clean water projects across Africa and beyond. Sean shares his personal journey from addiction and prison to a life anchored in leadership and service, challenging the false choice between ambition and compassion. Wealth without responsibility feels empty; effort without empathy falls short. Clean water isn’t charity—it’s infrastructure for dignity, education, and health.
This conversation is an invitation to act. We set a $100,000 goal to move real projects forward and show what a community can do when it rallies around a clear, solvable problem. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your days count, start with one small step: give, share, run, or simply choose to be useful today. Service cuts through the noise of division and turns values into outcomes. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and join us in backing Team World Vision—because no child should die for a drink. Ready to help write a different headline tomorrow?
