Storytelling for Change: Creating Hope out of Crisis | Global Conference 2024
Jimmie Briggs, Andrea Bruce, Scott Harrison, Yunghi Kim, Eli Reed, Yoongi Kim
Prominent photojournalists and social entrepreneurs Yoongi Kim, Scott Harrison, Andrea Bruce, and Eli Reed examined how visual storytelling confronts modern challenges like AI-generated disinformation and funding crises while driving tangible policy and humanitarian outcomes. The panelists detailed specific successes, including Kim's policy-altering documentation of Comfort Women, Charity Water's billion-dollar mobilization through immersive narratives, and Bruce's locally focused publication that achieved near-universal community engagement. Unifying under the belief that ethical, human-centered reporting is essential for democracy, the group emphasized the critical need for sustained public investment in original journalism to preserve truth and foster empathy across a noisy digital landscape.

How I Raised $700 Million: Charity: Water Founder: Scott Harrison | E153
Scott Harrison, Stephen Bartlett
Charity Water founder Scott Harrison transformed a decade of hedonistic excess and a traumatic childhood into a global nonprofit after a 2007 medical mission in West Africa revealed the direct link between waterborne disease and untreated illness. By securing a crucial overhead grant from Michael Birch in 2010, the organization survived an early financial crisis to establish a transparent business model where 100% of public donations fund water projects while dedicated private funding covers operational costs. Over the last fifteen years, this approach has provided clean water access to 15 million people across 29 countries, successfully redefining Harrison's purpose from personal accumulation to global service.
