Join charity: water
in ending the water crisis

Right now, nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide are trying to figure out how to make it through the day without access to clean and safe water. 

We're on a mission to change that.

The charity: water story

It all started in 2006, when one person decided to do something.

Help bring clean water to every person on the planet

It only takes $40 to give one person reliable access to the clean water they deserve. Join The Spring, our subscription giving community, to give clean water every single month. 

100% of your donation will directly fund clean water projects in rural communities around the world. 

Clean water changes everything

Access to clean water unlocks time and human potential, creates a more sustainable and just future, and tackles other pressing issues at their root.

Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week. Improved health also means fewer visits to local health clinics, which saves families time and money.

EDUCATION

Clean water helps keep kids in school, especially girls. Less time collecting water means more time in class. With access to clean water, kids around the world could get 443 million school days back every year.

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES

Every $1 invested in clean water can yield $4.30 in economic returns. Access to clean water is perhaps the single most powerful investment for sparking economic growth humanity has ever known.

WOMEN AND GIRLS
