By mixing business with social advocacy, a young Filipino-American helps provide fresh drinking water to children in Africa by managing an online writing service.

Ralph Hoffarber, who earned a degree in business administration from the University of Oregon in 2010, is the co-founder of ThirstyTalent.com.

Both in their twenties, Hoffarber and his partner, Kwame Essieh produce resumes, web content, and sales letters for a fee.

“A lot of young professionals struggle with words so we’d like to be their alternative whenever possible,” Hoffarber noted.

ThirstyTalent partnered with GlobalWater.org, to children in Africa, where the lack of safe drinking water is a major problem.

Every writing service accomplished by the ThirstyTalent team gives “at least one gallon of clean purified water… to a child in need,” the website of ThirstyTalent said.

Both ThirstyTalent and GlobalWater are working “to drill wells across rural Africa ensuring safe and easily accessible drinking for a lifetime,” it added. - VVP, GMA News
