At crowdSPRING, we feel very fortunate to participate in such a vibrant community of talented creatives. It’s the work we do as a collective that makes the greatest impact. But we also value our broader, global community, and feel it’s important to make an impact there, as well.<\/p>\n

That’s part of why we launched our Give Back program back in 2008. The crowdSPRING creatives agreed to offer up their services on a voluntary basis to worthy non-profits and charitable groups at no cost to the organizations, while we agreed to waive all fees and assist in the setup and promotion of their projects. The idea was that if branding and marketing matter and these organizations are doing good work, we wanted to contribute in the best way we could. Thus, the Give Back program was born.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re thrilled to announce that the crowdSPRING community\u2019s next Give Back project is to brand UK non-profit gather<\/a>. This group is working to make sure underprivileged communities across the world\u00a0have access to something folks in many Western nations take for granted: a toilet.<\/p>\n

An ever-growing health crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In many developing nations, sanitation systems are in a woeful state at best and entirely absent at worst, particularly in more remote areas. It is estimated that 2.6 billion people — more than one-third of the world’s population — do not have sufficient access to a working toilet. This is often directly linked to lack of infrastructure and clean water sources, and the consequences can be dire, particularly for children. As many as 5,000 kids worldwide die every day from diseases and conditions linked to this inadequacy.<\/p>\n

Luckily, great strides have been made in technology that is bringing access to clean water and toilets to areas. It’s becoming more affordable and easier to build. But the problem\u00a0has been scaling. As communities consolidate and grow, their sanitation and waste management needs are growing, too, in both size and sophistication. And while rudimentary solutions are certainly an improvement over no access to all to such resources, the more efficient and effective solution is one that provides for long-term and far reaching access.<\/p>\n

In order for that to happen, the brilliant minds tackling the issue need access to data. And that’s where gather comes in.<\/p>\n
