Our Mission
Charlie's Choice is dedicated to serving humanity's most basic needs by providing funding to credible non-profit organizations working to alleviate global hunger, build safe shelters, and end the clean water crisis. Our mission is driven by the core belief that every person deserves to have food in their belly, a roof over their head, and clean water in their cup.

Partner Highlight
Splash
Splash works to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene conditions for children in urban poverty. Splash serves 900k children across 8 countries in Asia and Africa. Recently, Splash achieved a 10-year milestone to bring filtration systems to every orphanage in China which impacted 190k children and adults across the country. source: splash.org
provide clean water for healthy kids
Splash focuses on serving Asian and African nations. Before Splash's intervention, only 33% of schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and 13% of schools in Kolkata, India had reliable access to safe water. Today, 100% of government schools in Addis Ababa and Kolkata have safe drinking water.
leverage commercial-grade water filtration systems
Splash installs commercial-grade ultra-filtration water systems manufactured by Antunes (a U.S. company). "Antunes systems are durable, low-maintenance, and high-flow-rate systems" (Splash, 2023). The filters remove 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses and the filtered water meets all WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality.
ensure water is safe and reliably flowing at all times
Safe water is not enough, it needs to also be reliable. Splash ensures there are sufficient water storage systems installed so that safe water is always running for students and staff.
Financial Update
We're thrilled to share that Charlie's Choice has raised ~$77k to-date and contributed to excellent non-for-profit organizations that support our areas of focus (clean water, hunger, shelter). We have also held a portion of funds aside as principal, earning interest over time and enabling Charlie's Choice to make an impact ongoing.
