So Meg visited Rwanda Feb 2016 to see where a waterpipeline built by World Vision in 2015 was helping a community. They now had water & latrines for the town and school.
She collected water and kids painted pictures which were sold at a dinner in Canada

“On World Water Day, March 22, hope-filled paintings created by students in Rwanda raised enough money to help World Vision build a well. The paintings were the focus of the Watercolour Project event, hosted by lifestyle expert and actor, Meghan Markle at LUMAS gallery in Toronto.
World Vision was also proud to announce Meghan Markle is a newly appointed Global Ambassador for the organization.
Markle travelled to Rwanda last month with World Vision to see first-hand the importance of clean water. While visiting a school in the Gasabo region of the country she taught students to paint with watercolours, using water from a newly installed pipeline in their community. The students created pictures based on their hopes and futures, which are now brighter because of the recent access to clean water. The painting session was captured by photographer Gabor Jurina.
Markle brought the paintings back to Canada to share the student artists’ stories and raise enough money to support additional water projects with World Vision.
The Watercolour Project was helmed by advertising agency KBS.
The event was attended by more than 60 high-profile guests. In total $15,000 was raised enough to help World Vision build a new source of water for an entire community

Good Works and Good Looks: Meghan Markle Gives Us Humanitarian Glam In Rwanda
“Meghan does philanthropy…in style. She managed to look effortlessly cute and stylish the entire trip, while not bringing too much LA glitz and glam to the impoverished area of Rwanda. She stuck to “earth colors” – vibing in neutral tones with an hombre trend to meet the local children”
Basically 60 people came to a dinner and bought the kids paintings and raised 15,000$ nice BUT how much did the trip cost to send Meg and the photographer and film crew over there plus production of the video plus cost of event???? PURE PR BULLCOOKIES
Well good, let people read this! She uses everyone! Some humanitarian worker…. truly disgusting! Thank you for this!🐼❤️😊
urgh, PR sometimes stinks 15k is not a lot for the amount of money spent.
