How super-rich influencers are helping to supply international aid
WaterAid 's #TeamWater campaign, in partnership with global content creators including YouTubers MrBeast and Mark Rober, has raised over $30 million in August. The charity described this fundraising achievement as "unprecedented", especially considering its total income for the previous financial year was £90.9 million. The campaign aims to raise a total of $40 million by the end of August to provide clean water to two million people worldwide. This initiative helps address funding shortfalls caused by government aid cuts and a decline in traditional charitable donations, highlighting the need for new fundraising approaches. WaterAid emphasised the importance of leveraging new media platforms like YouTube to engage a new generation of supporters and tackle the global water crisis.

Influencers like MrBeast can help plug funding gap left by aid cuts, says international charity
Major charity WaterAid says it has raised an 'unprecedented' $30 million in August thanks to partnering up with social media influencers – saying that such projects can help plug fundraising gaps left by aid cuts from the likes of the US and UK. Partnering with YouTube stars Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, and Mark Rober – who have more than 500m subscribers between them – the #TeamWater global campaign aims to raise $40 million in a month to bring clean water to two million people. The campaign has seen content creators from more 84 countries with a combined reach of two billion subscribers raising awareness of WaterAid's work, and asking viewers to donate. #TeamWater has managed to raise more than $30 million (£22m) across the first three weeks of August: An amount that WaterAid has described as 'unprecedented'. The NGO's total income for the 2023 to 2024 financial year was £90.9m, its annual report shows. According to Tim Wainwright, CEO of WaterAid UK, the campaign shows how the shifting media landscape is bringing new opportunities that NGOs must capitalise upon - particularly the fact that YouTube is now the most popular TV destination for children, according to Ofcom. 'It is essential to keep up to date on media and audiences as an organisation,' Wainwright told The Independent. 'To reach the next generation of supporters, we must meet them where they are: online, engaged and deeply invested in purpose-driven, organic storytelling.' The development sector has been reeling from funding cuts to government aid programmes by Donald Trump in the US and other countries this year, which have forced many NGOs to seriously cut back on funding for climate and health projects. The situation has been exacerbated for many groups by the fact that cost of living pressures have led to fewer people donating money to charity, and an evolving media landscape that is making it harder to reach donors via traditional means. Wainwright said that the money raised by #TeamWater could not have come at a more pressing time, given these pressures WaterAid faces on its legacy funding channels, as well as the ever-more significant impacts of climate change in the communities where WaterAid works. 'The water crisis impacts everyone, and with extreme weather patterns only making this situation worse, we need more funding from all different sources - from governments, to philanthropists, to charities,' Wainwright said. 'Water remains the most neglected area of UK aid spending, yet our research has found it's a top area of concern for the British public,' he added. 'With this fundraising campaign, it's all about inspiring and empowering a new generation to engage with an important global issue. We're truly witnessing history in the making — a new era of creator philanthropy that's redefining the future of fundraising.' #TeamWater is the third large-scale environmental campaign led by Donaldson and Rober, following on from #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas, which raised over $50 million to plant 20 million trees and remove 30 million pounds of trash from oceans and rivers worldwide. The campaign features videos from the deserts of Colombia to the mangrove forests of Bangladesh, where content creators are raising awareness of the pervasiveness of water insecurity. 'We've seen the power of the internet when it rallies behind a cause, from planting millions of trees to removing millions of pounds of trash from the ocean,' said Donaldson and Rober in a joint statement. 'Now, we're taking on clean water, because no one should have to live without it.' WaterAid currently works in 22 different countries, setting up systems to deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for communities. Since 1981, the charity has brought clean water to 28.9m people, brought decent toilets to 29.2 million people, and good hygiene to 28.7 million people. However, some 703m people continue to lack clean water close to home, while 2 billion people, or one in four globally, lack the ability to wash their hands with soap and water at home. #TeamWater is aiming to raise a total of $40m by 31 August, which should be able to provide clean water to some 2 million people worldwide.

Gisele Bundchen offers rare insight into her daily life as she wears a swimsuit, holds her baby and plays pool with her beau
Gisele Bundchen offered fans a rare look at what her daily life is like in a new portfolio shared to Instagram on Thursday. In one of the images she was seen holding her baby boy as his blonde hair could be seen but not his face. The siren from Brazil had her third child, whom she shares with partner Joaquim Valente, in her arms as she wore no makeup with her hair down and a green tank top on. Another shot showed her with the child strapped to her chest as she wore pale gray workout clothes while looking at a horse. And there was an image of the baby's hand as Gisele flashed her star tattoo. The 45-year-old Versace model was also seen in a bright orange one-piece swimsuit with her dog by her side as she drove a vehicle. Her hair was worn down as she flashed a summer tan. There was also a shot of her playing pool with Valente, as the pair seem closer than ever. There were martial arts photos on the wall, hinting they were in a workout studio. And there were images of Gisele's family members in what looked like a trip to her native Brazil. Her sister was by her side as they did glass blowing together. There was a beautiful photo of a sunset over lush, wild mountains and her son could be seen playing basketball with her love Valente. Gisele has not revealed the first name of her third baby, though People claims the middle name is River. Friends told Daily Mail that Gisele has chosen a first name for her boy that is 'close to her heart' with a family tie. One added the boy may be called Van, which is shortened version of Vânia Nonnenmacher, the name of the model's late mother. He could also be called Valdir, after her father, or Pat, a shortened male version of her twin sister's name, Patricia. The Brazilian star also shares son Benjamin, 15, daughter Vivian, 12, and stepson Jack, 17, with ex-husband Tom Brady. This comes after the bombshell posed for the cover of Vogue France in May. The catwalk veteran shared she is 'back in her rhythm' as she posed for her first shoot since welcoming her third child. In an interview with the publication, Gisele shared she's 'very grateful' she was able to spent so much time with her baby boy after giving birth. She said: 'Having my hair and make-up done makes me feel like I'm on vacation: with a baby, the nights are so short that I've hardly brushed my hair in recent months!' Gisele went onto say: 'Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my rhythm. As any new mother knows, it's amazing how much sleep or lack of it can change everything! 'But then again, I feel really grateful: being able to be at home with my children and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.' Gisele, who began dating Joaquim in June 2023, went added that following her split from husband Tom, she now feels she's become more resilient. The model's dog law on a rug next to several pieces of luggage with initials on it The star added: 'I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and my priorities are clearer. I'm grateful to be where I am. I feel like I've earned it.' In April she posted first snap of her youngest child on Instagram since his February arrival. In the sweet snap, her son's face was nestled into his mother's shoulder and wore an adorable 'I heart Mom' onesie. The post also included a rare snap of Gisele with her children and boyfriend. In the photo, the four shared an embrace whilst the model held her newborn child, whose face was concealed with a red heart emoji. 'I've been quiet over here but very busy living life... Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren't shared — they're simply lived. Lately, I've been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.' Gisele was also particularly missing her mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed at age 75 in January 2024 from cancer. 'Today, on Mother's Day, I specially miss my mom, but my heart is full. Being a mother it's been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day. 'To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can't describe. I see you, I honor you. Happy mother's day! Sending so much love your way!' In October, Bundchen's pregnancy news was revealed - leaving her ex, Brady, 'stunned' by the revelation. A source recently told how Gisele and Joaquim broke the pregnancy news to Brady. The model informed Tom that she was expecting her first child with Valente shortly after telling their children because she wanted him to hear it from her first rather than through media reports. 'Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him,' said a source. 'She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding,' the insider stated. Both Benjamin and Vivian were 'absolutely thrilled' over the big news, the source also shared.
