For a small investment, you can fund long-lasting water projects that serve villages and schools.
Wells, dams and rain catchment systems can provide a reliable source of drinking water. Sanitation facilities and hygiene training then help multiply the impact. Communities become far better able to grow themselves out of poverty.
You can help restore hope.
Give water and help rescue some of the 440 million school days lost every year to water-related sickness. Put an end to the nearly 1 in 5 deaths under the age of five that occur due to dirty water. See between $3 and $34 be returned in economic growth for every $1 invested.
You can unlock potential.
For hundreds of millions of people...dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of sickness, lack of education, poverty and lost hope. It is needless suffering.
We're installing wells and other water projects with support from people like you.
Come see how the impact ripples out.
Help fund a water project. We'll send you a tracking link instantly so you can follow the specific project you're helping to build. You'll see the impact your donation makes.
The majority of our projects are funded by donors who have given $20, $50 or $500 gifts.
We've had young students raise money in their neighborhoods, sororities organize entire campuses and a couple guys even biked across Africa to help.
Everyone got a link to track the construction and results of the specific water project they helped build. You can too!
You'll make stories like Bridget's possible.
Through our years of experience funding water projects, we have learned that each community we serve is different. From basic geology, to climate, to culture, many factors determine the most sustainable means to provide access to clean and safe water.
We fund new wells, well rehabs, rain catchment, spring protection and sand dams where appropriate. We empower our partners along with the communities themselves to determine what makes sense.
Your gifts enable robust community mobilization, careful project construction and rigorous long-term follow up and evaluation.
Technologies vary and so do costs. An $11,000 water project in one village might cost $27,000 in the next due to geology, local climate and the technology used. Catching rain or repairing a pump might be less expensive and just as valuable as digging a well.
We're committed to funding the most appropriate, efficient and sustainable solutions available.
We've learned that seemingly low-cost projects often ignore the most important aspects of community-building and long term impact. We ensure our partners are holistic in approach and accountable over time.
For each project you support, you'll receive an in-depth project report detailing the technology used, the location of the effort, the number of people it serves, and photographs of the process and completed water project.
If your project's total expenses are less than your gift, we'll show you any additional project(s) you've supported as well! For larger gifts, there may instances in which you'll be the sole sponsor on multiple projects.
