Scott Harrison

Scott Harrison’s journey began with an unconventional childhood shaped by his mother’s health struggles and a deeply religious upbringing, which instilled both resilience and a longing for normalcy. As a teenager, his talent for piano helped him navigate new environments, eventually leading him to join a band and pursue a career in music promotion.

Volunteering with Mercy Ships in Africa, Scott witnessed the transformative power of clean water and medical care, inspiring him to establish charity: water in 2006. Rooted in "radical transparency," the organization grew through innovative campaigns, like birthday fundraisers, and a commitment to honesty, even in failure. Personal connections, such as his marriage to Viktoria Alexeeva, and professional milestones, like the creation of The Spring, underscored his dedication to providing clean water while addressing operational challenges. Despite setbacks, Scott’s unwavering focus on impact and transparency defined his mission to change lives through access to clean water.
