Right now, 703 million people are drinking dirty water. You can change that. When you give clean water, you’re investing in the hopes and dreams of families around the world. Children are able to attend school full-time. Women can start a business. Communities thrive.
Health
Diseases from dirty water take 16,000 lives every week, mostly children under five. Access to clean water and proper sanitation doesn't just transform lives: It saves them.
Education
When children have access to clean water and safe toilets, they’re able to study full-time. This empowers young girls to stay in school—and out of child marriages.
Opportunity
Clean water stimulates economic and social development in rural communities. Entrepreneurship thrives, populations are healthier, and families can finally look to the future with confidence.
We track every dollar you raise, and show the projects you helped fund with photos and GPS.
