Watch how two key life events led Fernando Pinho to found Please Take Me There
Upon returning to NYC in 2006, having seen the effects of dirty water firsthand, Scott turned his full attention to the global water crisis and the (then) 1.1 billion people living without access to clean water.
He established a small core team in a tiny Manhattan apartment and created charity: water.
The organization set out on a big mission, to bring clean water to every person living without it, and an even bigger vision, to reinvent charity with an innovative 100% model and radical transparency, proving every single water project funded.
Seven years later and with the help of thousands of supporters in the UK and Europe, Please Take Me There has funded over 5,000 trips to hospital in three countries.
Now, we are working to offer specialised transport service for all children and young people with cancer in the East of England by 2023 and in the whole country by 2026.
Like most parents, Fernando wanted to make his children proud and to do something that would motivate them to grow up into good people.
In a world where so many things are not needed, he wanted to do something truly important and inspiring.
