What is RYOT‘s game plan to change traditional media? They allow people to “Become the News.” Bryn Moser and David Darg are humanitarians. They have been on the front lines of some of the world’s major catastrophes and have seen positive transformation in communities through human impact. Frustrated with the traditional media’s inflexibility in providing actionable context around news, they decided to #ChangeThat by providing a social online hub that does: RYOT. RYOT connects action with each news story so people can get involved in the world’s most pressing issues. This month’s Social Disruptors podcast is a chat with Bryn and David on their plans to disrupt traditional media. Edward D. (Ned) Breslin is the CEO of Water For People, widely considered a force for positive change by challenging status quo approaches and offering concrete alternatives to water, sanitation, and transparency in philanthropy and aid, by offering concrete alternatives. Breslin received the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship in 2011.

Currently based in Haiti, David is Vice President of Operation Blessing International and has traveled to over 100 countries. David has won numerous awards as a filmmaker, including a Special Jury Mention at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival as Co-Director of “Baseball in the Time of Cholera.” Bryn Mooser was named one of Esquire Magazine’s “2012 Americans of the Year” for his work in Haiti. As Country Director for Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), Bryn helped build APJ’s secondary school in Port-au-Prince, which now educates 1,400 young Haitians per year. Bryn is also an award-winning film maker. His latest documentary, “The Rider And The Storm”, premiered in April in NYC as his third consecutive world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/starting_a_ryot_in_traditional_news

A hospital with no running water gets a life-changing transformation in just two days. For the last two years, the hospital has been without running water, the lack of which presented unique challenges to both the staff and patients of Belladere. Surgeries had to be postponed for lack of water to sterilize the equipment; families were forced to bring in their own often contaminated. Together with Partners in Health, Operation Blessing installed new underground piping, connected the hospital to the city water line and installed a chlorinator to purify the city water before being stored in a large 30-foot-high water tank all in just two days.

1 in 6 people do not have access to clean drinking water. Approximately every 14 seconds, someone dies from a disease brought on by unsafe drinking water. Of the estimated 42,000 deaths each week from diseases related to unclean drinking water and poor sanitation, more than 90 percent of the victims are children. Sadly, many of their deaths could have been prevented had proper sanitation and clean water been available. Take action and stop this cycle of suffering. You can help by donating, sharing this video, and spreading awareness of this dire need. Together we can solve it. Be a part of the solution: www.ob.org/cleanwater Operation Blessing International is partnering with people like you to bring clean water to those that need it all over the world.
