Safe Water Network has announced their summer benefit concert on July 23 at the Fairfield Theatre Company in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Sponsored by Joanne Woodward-Newman and celebrating the philanthropic legacy of Safe Water Network founder Paul Newman, the benefit concert will directly fund access to safe drinking water in Ghana and feature popular Ghanaian reggae singer Samini, performing with a full band from Ghana.
Bringing together the transformative power of music and life-changing access to safe water, this benefit will fund Safe Water Stations in Ghana, where 40% of the population still lacks this essential life need. Safe Water Stations are small community businesses that improve health and create jobs in resource poor communities while providing long-term access to safe drinking water.
The revenue generated by a Safe Water Station pays its operators and creates a reserve for maintenance and repair, ensuring the system’s longevity and the community’s independence.
