Best Practices

• •Prioritize Storytelling: Use real (or representative) stories of individuals and communities to make the impact tangible and relatable. Focus on transformation and hope.
• •Emphasize "You" and "Together": Directly address the audience (potential donors/supporters) and highlight the collaborative nature of the effort. Make them feel part of the solution.
• •Balance Urgency with Hope: Clearly communicate the dire need but always pair it with the positive outcomes and the belief that change is possible with support. Avoid overly desperate or guilt-inducing language, which can lead to donor fatigue.
• •Be Specific About Impact: Instead of vague statements, use concrete examples and, where possible, statistics to show how donations translate into real-world change (e.g., "X dollars provides Y liters of water" or "a new well serves Z people").
• •Maintain Visual and Verbal Consistency: Ensure that the language used across all platforms (website, social media, emails) aligns with the core values of compassion, impact, and hope. Visuals should also reflect these values, showing dignity, progress, and the positive effects of clean water.
