Short Synopsis: Shot in Zomba, Malawi, the 60-second hero film takes an alternative approach to fundraising by highlighting the positive impact of donations, instead of the need for them.

As the film opens, a community gathers around a tap installed by WaterAid, to celebrate the pouring of their village’s first cup of clean water. When the speaker sets down the cup, a young girl sneaks through the crowd to steal it.

Resisting the temptation to drink it herself, she carefully carries it to her elderly grandmother’s house. In a moving closing scene, she offers her grandma the village's first sip of safe water - the simple yet sacred commodity which will allow their community to thrive.
