Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have announced a $500,000 donation to Water First Education & Training.

“Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right,” Ryan said in a statement (via Variety). “Canada is home to over 20% of the planet’s freshwater — an abundance that’s envied around the world. There’s absolutely no reason Indigenous communities should not have access to safe, clean water. All the individuals involved, whether they are operating water systems or monitoring their local water bodies, are critical. We appreciate Water First’s focus on supporting young, Indigenous adults to become certified water operators and environmental technicians. These folks are helping to ensure sustainable access to safe, clean water locally, now and for the future. Blake and I are thrilled to support this important work.”
Blake and Ryan are known for their extreme generosity. They just announced another huge donation to help those displaced in Ukraine.
