Every penny you give funds sustainable, community-owned water projects in some of the world’s most remote locations. But our work doesn’t stop when construction ends. We empower local leaders, use strong operations and maintenance structures, collect data on specific water, sanitation, and hygiene indicators, and implement innovative sensor technology to protect water access for years to come.
And keeping water flowing? It matters — especially for women and girls. Clean water instantly improves health, gives back hours of time, and unlocks a world of opportunities.
This one thing changes everything. You can take our word for it, but you’ll never have to. The numbers speak for themselves.
We’ve always believed in running the numbers: gallons pumped, people served, projects mapped. But it’s not just powerful data. It’s powerful progress. Every step we take together gets us closer to the day when the number of people who live without clean water is zero.
With 703 million people living without clean water, it can be easy to feel like your gift doesn’t matter. But the numbers tell a different story — and they have a lot to say.
In Nepal, clean water projects reduced worry by more than 56%, with 71.1% reporting a feeling of worry before having clean water, compared to just 14.6% after.
Before clean water came to her community in Malawi, Loveness would start collecting water for her family at 4 a.m. and often didn't stop until noon.
Before clean water, the health clinic in Ambote, Nepal, treated over 700 patients a month, including 2,200 cases of diarrhea. During our last visit? Just two patients — one with a sprain, one with a mild fever — and not a single waterborne illness.
Thanks to a rainwater harvesting system, 375 high school students like Jui get to invest in their education. "Now that I have safe water, I have a different kind of happiness. I think I can do something in the future. I no longer have the fear of getting sick again."

The first promise we ever made is one we still keep to this day: 100% of every public donation funds clean water.
No gimmicks. No hidden fees. No fine print.
We have two independently audited bank accounts: One for water, where 100% of all donations from charity: water supporters go, and one for operating expenses, which is funded by a small group of generous families and companies. This group, known as The Well, covers the day-to-day costs of running charity: water so that every penny you give can directly fund clean water.
When you give clean water, you become living proof of what’s possible: The global water crisis can end. And it will end for even more people if we keep moving forward, together.
Tens of thousands of lives stand to be transformed, but time is running out. You can help right now. Your $40 gift brings clean water to one person, $240 to one family. Every penny directly funds clean water projects.
You can change everything for a community, school, or health clinic by sponsoring a water project. On average, water projects start at $10,000 and can cost up to $30,000 or more, depending on the location and project type.
Honor or remember someone special by making a gift in their name.
Join us in shaping the future and making clean water a part of your lasting legacy.
We also accept donations by check, stock, money order, and wire transfer.
We currently accept bitcoin, ether, litecoin, bitcoin cash, Zcash, filecoin, and dogecoin.
