This is one of the reasons why I love Trevor, he bring a unique perspective to certain issues that feels so personal because he wasn't raised here in the US. He seems to understand and appreciate things more than other interviewers would and engages more insightfully.
My hometown located in a rural area of the central China don't have clean water many years. Until recently the water quality was improved. I think those works they have done is great and especially significant for the people whose life can be changed. The spirit should be honored.
Runsheng He - It is amazing how many rural areas don't have fresh, clean water with all the mountains in China. Forest rivulets, with so much sand, dirt and plant roots, generally purifies water before it reaches the valley floor, but if the trees are cut down, it's over. Did industry ruin the water in your town?
My hometown don't have any industry at all. The water is kind of clean, the problem is that it can't be get easily. The two contamination sources of the water comes form the fertilizer and insecticides which was heavily used in the land to harvest more food. The land for farming is so precious so that trees are chopped down and the mountains change to farm land. The good news is that, maybe 10 years ago, farm land on the mountains are not encouraged to use. With the trending of many family are moving to the suburbans to live, the quality of the water is as good as old days. And the mountains are changing back to green again.
I only have $300 to my name ($275 now) and I just made a $25 donation. If I can afford it, you can too. "Be the change you want to see in the world." I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my belly. Many others do not. This is a cause that truly seems to give a damn and that's why I decided to give.
What a massive donation man! You're actively propagating that change for sure, and this will help so many people :) these sorts of comments really do remind me to get out there and try to do something really Really nice as well for the world. Thanks for donating to them!
I started to cry when the girl said she was going to play. This has honestly never happened to me before, crying because of a TH-cam video. In a way it makes me kinda happy, actually. Thanks for touching me that way.
+Antwon Gamble Honestly bro, I'm worried about you, you got your face out there, that youre in montana, and youre joking about rape, have you not heard of the white supremacist vigilantes in your area? Think before you post dumb shit man.
As someone who deals with water quality on a regular basis for my profession, keeping water clean is SUPER important. It is an inherent reality of water chemistry that cleaning up water pollution is ALWAYS more expensive and energy-intensive than preventing the pollution in the first place.
You could hear the passion in Matts voice.. I almost chocked up a bit.. then reading the comments made me chock up some more.. Keep doing good people. Lets not worry about the negative people on here. This wasn't ment for them anyway. Like others, I'm going to do my little part, and hopefully there will be millions more.
David I used to Fundraise form MSF Doctors Without Borders and OXFAM. That $25 can supply about 3 families of 5 with water for MONTHS. Thank you my dude and this is setting people up with a SUSTAINABLE water source which goes beyond that man
I have seen lots of people waiting near a public tap in India, but didn't realize the economic impact of this. This moved me so much I immediately donated money to their cause. Keep up the good work guys!!
Matt Damon is finally paying back to the world after we have saved him countless times. Jokes aside, this is so awesome, I'm heading over now to donate.
In India, there is a thing called "water-wife", where a man (when his wife is old or invalid) specifically marries a younger girl so that she bring them water from miles away and do the household chores for them. Water Crisis is real. Thanks Mathew and thanks Gary!
Their are many places were young girls are forced into marriages specifically so they can help the husband often older men and their families in such chores like collecting water and firewood often with babes on their backs . This is unfortunately a way of life for millions of girls.
Augustine Raymann - How is being a woman in India and parts of Africa any different from being a slave? The more I hear about the plight of Indian women, the less I think of Indian men and I am struggling not to think that way. I know there are men who don't agree with these things. I keep hearing the worst things about India, women are traded, sold, given away, burned . . . geez I thought Islam was tougher on women, but that depends on what type of Muslim you are and what part of the world you live in as a Muslim. Wahabism (the Saudi brand) is the strictest brand, but for the affluent, it might be more comfortable.
I am sorry, I did not mean to offend anyone, I mentioned "water-wife" for two reasons: (1) I saw some of them first hand, during my travels (2) it is very true, you may fact check it. I do agree with you, everywhere in the developing countries, the condition of women are basically the same (patriarchal societies with high degree of gender inequality), irrelevant of the religion or the culture.
I live in New Orleans.. I’m black. Let me tell you, after this interview you guys still have no idea how great this guy is. He could be an amazing president
I dont like celebrities much.There are a lot of unmentioned people helping every day. But I have to say that my respect for Matt is constantly rising.He is doing a lot of helpfull stuff.May god bless them both!
For anyone who wants to support them without spending a penny, I warmly recommend Tab For A Cause, which lets you raise money for charities by opening new tabs on your computer. It's a browser extension that replaces your "new tab" page with a page that has a beautiful background picture with a couple of ads along the sides (no pop-ups or ads that are inappropriate or make noise). You can allocate the ad revenue from the ads shown to you (which is represented by hearts) between the 8 charities they work with - Water.org is one of them. Last year, Tab For A Cause raised enough money to get 5688 people clean water (and that's just the portion of the money that went to Water.org). It's a fantastic way to help in a small but really meaningful way while just going about your daily life.
It is so wonderful seeing someone using their wealth and power to do so much good in the world. Cheers to these gentlemen, and best of luck on all their efforts!
I was supposed to watch pandas in zoo, then I accidentally ended up on this page. Matt was so passionate and articulate, I just had to donate-- now my 4 friends will have chalices for their birthdays.
I am impressed and will be donating soon. An absolute believer in micro loans to in power ppl to change their own lives!!! Bravo and thank u for giving such opportunities to ppl.
World Water Day is not something I'd ever knew about. Water is an essential resource and I'm glad to that Trevor gave time to Matt & Gary to further inform the public about this issue.
I love this. They are absolutely right. Charity is never enough. A hand out cannot change the basis of the problem. This is a much better idea. Great job guys
All respect from Syria (Damascus was famous through history for springs and best quality fresh water; 48 years of bad planning and corruption turned it into a dessert!)
It is a sad truth that billions across the globe have little to no water or unclean water..this is true here in the USA in our Native American communities whose lands are often exploited for fracking and mining that pollutes the drinking water. Water in these communities also has to be hauled..so please as well as helping those across the globe let's help those in our own backyards. Thank-you for bringing this sad reality to the forefront. We are protectors of our waters...
Haaaaaaaaa! "It's not one man's job to tell another man what to do with his back." omg! Love what you guys are doing with the water.org movement. Most people having to drink dirty water and then getting sick from worms etc. We just have the most amazing life where there's an organized water system. I'm donating. Clean water is a basic human right. Hopefully they're doing something for Flint as well.
Wowing. Great Idea. It's really nice to hear something Good going on into today world. Were people are helping different people around the world. Thank You.
Jon Stewart was probably only thinking of comedic ability when choosing Trevor. But very important to have him in a news related show. A host that can actually relate to the poverty that the guests are talking about
I like that he gave a nod to Mohd. Younus (who won a noble peace prize) about microfinancing ...... A plus I'd like to add that most of the time foreign aid hurt more than they help , coz they don't give them the money directly to the people , but microfinancing way of providing water to people helps
If only the Stella Artois commercials with Matt Damon said all of the things he and Gary talked about with Trevor. Matt said the purchase of the chalice, which is the donation, will give precious time back to people. Instead of time, it actually provides opportunity - education, economic stability to equality, employment, etc. That would resonate even more. But excellent work on the part of these two and the people they work with.
Totally agree with this style of helping the needy. Charity giving is ok but it typically doesn't help solve the problems they are fighting. It's exactly the teach a man to fish proverb. Just takes planning and strong idealistic leadership
It's not alwaysd about complex technology solutions, sometimes it's just simple financial services, utility infrastructure, etc. These basic facilities and infrastructure can go a long way. I'm a Matt Damon fan for like from today onwards.
The basic building block that is needed is contraception. The problem isn't connecting to the water utility. In most slums there is no water utility to connect to.
This is one of the reasons why I love Trevor, he bring a unique perspective to certain issues that feels so personal because he wasn't raised here in the US. He seems to understand and appreciate things more than other interviewers would and engages more insightfully.
wait wait wait wait wait stop the presses. is trevor noah not from here?
I repeat: is trevor noah seriously not from the US?
omg trevor noah isn't from the US
Helping people help themselves. Awesome. Bravo guys.
Fuck off, you troll
This is what the world needs. More caring people and kindness to all.
Jill Niemczynski ❤️💙💕🧜♂️🧜♀️💝
No. There is plenty of people who care and are kind. Infact most people care and are kind. What world needs is more people who actually take action.
We're sure to get that with Trump, his swamp, and the rest of the repuds in our nation! The nation's nazis and klan don't vote for them for nothin'.
Ric Vicious I can’t tell if you are joking or not
Jill Niemczynski Amen

What you did is great, but you should have saved it in case you get injured or something breaks
Allen Burt My fianceé is the bread winner. Until I get more saved (started a new job recently) she helps quite a bit.
Bless you man
What a massive donation man! You're actively propagating that change for sure, and this will help so many people :) these sorts of comments really do remind me to get out there and try to do something really Really nice as well for the world. Thanks for donating to them!

gidolf: In addition to thanks, maybe a donation?
Is there applicable Noble Prize category for this? Gary and Matt done work for humanity.
Just donated, every child should be able to play. Keep up the great work.
Fiona Maloney hey sexy
Antwon Gamble hey sicko
Thank you!
+Antwon Gamble Honestly bro, I'm worried about you, you got your face out there, that youre in montana, and youre joking about rape, have you not heard of the white supremacist vigilantes in your area? Think before you post dumb shit man.
joergjoergermann I donated via PayPal, I know nothing about Bitcoin, sorry.
A perfect example of why we have to keep our fresh water clean by protecting it from industry.
zonescat stealing it and if they don't steal it they dirty it up and make it unusable.
As someone who deals with water quality on a regular basis for my profession, keeping water clean is SUPER important. It is an inherent reality of water chemistry that cleaning up water pollution is ALWAYS more expensive and energy-intensive than preventing the pollution in the first place.
Mathew Clark well said!
Sandi Billingsley Yes!
You could hear the passion in Matts voice.. I almost chocked up a bit.. then reading the comments made me chock up some more.. Keep doing good people. Lets not worry about the negative people on here. This wasn't ment for them anyway. Like others, I'm going to do my little part, and hopefully there will be millions more.
Donation sent... I'm a frugal dude so that was a big deal for me, but I know I probably would have spent those 25 bucks on something dumb anyways.
David Robles You did a great thing. Thank you!!
David I used to Fundraise form MSF Doctors Without Borders and OXFAM. That $25 can supply about 3 families of 5 with water for MONTHS. Thank you my dude and this is setting people up with a SUSTAINABLE water source which goes beyond that man
right there with you buddy
Bless you man
Thanks bro
This is what the world needs. They are so well spoken. Why did I not know about them earlier? Heading to water.org right now
I have seen lots of people waiting near a public tap in India, but didn't realize the economic impact of this. This moved me so much I immediately donated money to their cause. Keep up the good work guys!!
Matt Damon is finally paying back to the world after we have saved him countless times. Jokes aside, this is so awesome, I'm heading over now to donate.
I'm so glad we saved him from Mars. He realised the importance of water and environment!
🤣🤣🤣 he's a great guy
My boy's wicked smart!!!
You can feel the genuine passion that both of them have in this interview.
Trevor is so good at understanding and asking the perfect questions . He is genuinely interested in everyone he is interviewing.
You are what make America great.

Legal slave..so sad
Donated. This requires lot of patience, passion and hard work. Great job Matt and Gary.
I live in New Orleans.. I’m black. Let me tell you, after this interview you guys still have no idea how great this guy is. He could be an amazing president
I dont like celebrities much.There are a lot of unmentioned people helping every day. But I have to say that my respect for Matt is constantly rising.He is doing a lot of helpfull stuff.May god bless them both!
I've always respected Matt Damon but now I'm adore him. Thank you for making a difference
MATT DAMON!
Be yourself.
No one can ever be you.
Being yourself is doing the world a kind of good that none can do for it.
You are unique and special.
Gary and Matt.. You'll be remembered for generations. Thank you for your little bit that you are doing.
This is a great story of how to fix a problem. Bravo, guys!!!
Need more news like this
Thank you for giving the needed publicity to this amazing organization to help it thrive!
You are doing most fundamental service to humanity. Hats off.
I Just Donated right after watching this Video... Thanks for bringing this to the light for so many people!
Clean water access everywhere please. Thank you all that help. Love and thanks.

Thanks folks. Live long !!!!!!!!
It is so wonderful seeing someone using their wealth and power to do so much good in the world. Cheers to these gentlemen, and best of luck on all their efforts!
Dylan Schlie Yea, unlike people like Nicky minaj, Paris Jackson and Kylie Jenner.
I was supposed to watch pandas in zoo, then I accidentally ended up on this page. Matt was so passionate and articulate, I just had to donate-- now my 4 friends will have chalices for their birthdays.
Trevor is doing soooooooo good with his version of TDS.
Amazing idea. We need more celebrities like Matt Damon to make this world a much better place!
I am impressed and will be donating soon. An absolute believer in micro loans to in power ppl to change their own lives!!! Bravo and thank u for giving such opportunities to ppl.
World Water Day is not something I'd ever knew about. Water is an essential resource and I'm glad to that Trevor gave time to Matt & Gary to further inform the public about this issue.
God Bless Matt and Gary...Keep up that spirit!
I love how passionate Matt Damon is
Trevor asks really great questions, on par with journalist.
This is brilliant. You can see the passion in these guys. They're doing what politicians across the world should be doing.
God bless these men!!!
This is heart warming WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! THANK YOU MATT & GARY!!!

Incredible. God bless you guys. . and Matt you are still my hero..
Amazing! Congratulations to you all. I’ll donate with a broken heart knowing how simple is the solution but how farther away is the completion.
Great job guys.. need more people like you to make a difference in our world
Matt Damon not only a great actor but also very intelligent and a good human being.
good job guys
God bless you so much
this world needs more people like you
Water is a cause I deeply care about. I hope you guys are very successful.
I thought it's impossible to love Matt Damon even more.
That is a interestingly good concept. Well done guys. And thanks to Trevor for bringing such issues up and having a good discussion.
All respect from Syria (Damascus was famous through history for springs and best quality fresh water; 48 years of bad planning and corruption turned it into a dessert!)

God bless water.org ... such a divinely dope initiative :) #BigUps!
I'm glad to know about this program. The approach and results are amazing.
Noa is a really great host. Very natural and honest. When I asks some more serious questions it never seems to be rude but just curious.
This is amazing!!!😭😭😭😭😭❤️
This interview made me so happy😊
Thank you Trevor! Another great non-trump segment. It's like a breath of fresh air... 👍. Creating awareness on #worldwaterday
So cool! I hope people follow on the example, charity done right
I am from Guatemala, people don't realize how important is to have and protect water.
Haaaaaaaaa! "It's not one man's job to tell another man what to do with his back." omg!
Love what you guys are doing with the water.org movement.
Most people having to drink dirty water and then getting sick from worms etc.
We just have the most amazing life where there's an organized water system.
I'm donating. Clean water is a basic human right.
Hopefully they're doing something for Flint as well.
Great job guys!! We all need to devote time to help others.
Wowing. Great Idea. It's really nice to hear something Good going on into today world. Were people are helping different people around the world. Thank You.

Thank you from Kiribati
"Don't give me a fish , teach me how to catch the fish !" Logic .
This is great , their work must be appreciated .
I like that he gave a nod to Mohd. Younus (who won a noble peace prize) about microfinancing ......

We are out of time for Kimmel
Matt! Great interview as always Trevor♥✨
This is the America that we respect and love: they come and solve your issues.
This is awesome!
If only the Stella Artois commercials with Matt Damon said all of the things he and Gary talked about with Trevor. Matt said the purchase of the chalice, which is the donation, will give precious time back to people. Instead of time, it actually provides opportunity - education, economic stability to equality, employment, etc. That would resonate even more. But excellent work on the part of these two and the people they work with.
I love this idea. I hope that he is also pushing to resolve the water issue in Flint Michigan
Wow, did not know about that and the concept is pretty neat. Thanks to the Daily Show for showcasing this, I learned something valuable today :)
Absolutely lovely!!!
I'm gonna try to get my family to donate. This is a wonderful idea.
Just donated, love it
I'm glad they're focusing on creating self sufficiency instead of paternal hand outs
Matt Damon is dreamy!😍
Matt is the most humble Hollywood actor
DrAkhila - I like him too, but we don't know that. He is after all, an ACE actor.
Apt215 Melissa Brown - but he is actually a down to earth kinda guy..no scandal of any sorts..helping everyone..encouraging the upcoming actors...
It's each piece at a time. Starting with basics like water is the way to go.
Loved the segment. It'll be a great help if you link to their websites or articles about their work.
I'm a water sign, I hope this help others to become rich in water, and life free of teadeous water finding!
its satisfying as fuck to see someone take this kind of stance on helping poor people; letting them help THEMSELVES.
Totally agree with this style of helping the needy. Charity giving is ok but it typically doesn't help solve the problems they are fighting. It's exactly the teach a man to fish proverb. Just takes planning and strong idealistic leadership
It's not alwaysd about complex technology solutions, sometimes it's just simple financial services, utility infrastructure, etc. These basic facilities and infrastructure can go a long way. I'm a Matt Damon fan for like from today onwards.
Good on you for sharing this news Trevor
I just donated. Inspired !
awesome project! one "charity" worth supporting!
I'm definitely gonna donate.
The basic building block that is needed is contraception. The problem isn't connecting to the water utility. In most slums there is no water utility to connect to.
This is impressive. Bravo, keep it up!
This is simply amazing....
