You might remember that one year ago we asked Mashable’s Twitter followers to donate funds to charity: water as part of that charity’s Born in September campaign. We’re happy to announce that, thanks to your generosity and a matching donation from Matt Damon’s H20 Africa foundation, the money has been used to build a well in the town of Sto in Northern Ethiopia, bringing clean water to the 350 people who live there. The photos below show the completed well.

mycharity: water raises $2 million.As of today, fundraisers on mycharity: water have raised more than $2 million for clean water projects. This will bring safe drinking water to 100000 people. Many gave up a birthday — they asked for money to build a well instead of birthday presents. Others biked, swam, danced or ran marathons and collected pledges. And still more led entire schools, churches or communities to contribute to their cause. One mission statement, one campaign at a time, mycharity: water kept outpacing expectations. Some raised thousands; some raised just a few bucks. Every donation counted in the fight to end the world water crisis. charity: water is grateful for its grassroots supporters. In less than nine months, they have proved that a little time and dedication can turn into an entire movement for change.
