Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area provides families of ill or injured children with comforting, supportive, and healing spaces like the Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in a number of Utah hospitals. CEO Carrie Romano joins us with more.

Carrie Romano:
Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child. Through facilities like our 75-room Ronald McDonald House, in Salt Lake City near top local hospitals, and our Ronald McDonald Family Room programs within local hospitals, we increase access to high-quality pediatric care for around 10,000 families annually.

Our services help families to stay close to their hospitalized children, offering free lodging, transportation to medical facilities, and meals. Keeping families together not only provides a sense of normalcy and social support but it also improves patient outcomes.

To continue providing these critical services, Ronald McDonald House Charities relies on community support, donations, and the Round-Up program at local McDonald’s restaurants. Additionally, volunteers to provide and prepare meals for families are needed now more than ever before! Show your support by visiting ronaldmcdonaldhouseutah.org.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. WHOlives is a nonprofit organization with a goal described by the acronym ‘W-H-O’ – providing clean Water, better Health and economic Opportunities to all people while prioritizing sustainability and self-reliance. Founder and Executive Director John Renouard joins us with more.

John Renouard:
So in 2010, I was on vacation in Africa when I saw these young girls missing school because they were forced to walk miles to fetch water for their families. I knew I had to do something, so I created the non-profit WHOlives.

For 10 months I worked with local engineering students to create a human-powered water drill. Our Village Drill has now completed nearly 15,000 wells worldwide, empowering over 14 million people.

Today, WHOlives is excited about our newest innovation, the Village Drill Hybrid, an electric drill that’s even stronger and drills faster!

But we now have way more requests for water than we have funds, so WHOlives is looking for businesses and even individuals to join with us to make a difference.

So please, consider making a donation or join us in Africa for an epic experience and Safari.

Again, we would love for you to get involved with our mission, just visit us at WHOlives.org, that’s WHOlives.org.

Derek Miller:
Just last year, WHOlives was honored with the Hunger and Poverty Award at the .ORG Impact Awards Ceremony for their innovative community solutions. Learn more, or donate to support their cause, at their website. I’m Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
