    Shutterstock Teams Up with Charity: Water to Build 12 Wells in Africa – One for Every Month of 2010

    Innovative partnership will bring clean, safe water to villages in need.

    New York, NY (PRWEB) December 3, 2009 – Shutterstock, the world’s largest subscription-based stock photo agency, announced today that it has partnered with charity: water to build 12 wells in Africa in 2010 – one for each month of the year. The partnership aims to address one of the fundamental problems facing developing nations today: the lack of clean, safe drinking water.

    Shutterstock is donating $60,000 to charity: water to build wells in 12 arid villages in northern Ethiopia, where thousands of people live in areas without access to clean water. Although water is a basic resource that developed nations often take for granted, unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80 percent of all sickness and disease, and contribute to the deaths of more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

    “Our partnership with charity: water is designed to make a real difference in the lives of people who lack one of life’s basic necessities: clean, safe water,” said Jon Oringer, founder and CEO of Shutterstock. “We welcome everyone in Shutterstock’s global community to spread the generosity of the holiday season to help the men, women and children who need it most.”

    To get involved, please visit: www.charitywater.org/shutterstock. When the wells are complete, Shutterstock will update this page with photos, GPS coordinates and news from communities where wells have been built, and lives have been changed.
