What We Do & How We Do It

The Water Project is providing access to clean drinking water in developing nations by:

Matching you to one of our hard working, efficient, and proven partners who are drilling fresh water wells and other water projects.
Sending up to 100% of public donations to fund these efforts, ensuring your gifts provide clean water - however you choose.
Showing every donor how their gifts provide water through photos, short stories and GPS map coordinates.

We believe that every supporter can become part of the story of water by learning, acting, giving and then seeing the difference they make.

We're looking for some willing hands...are you ready?

Why Water?

More than 1 in 6 people in the world don't have access to safe drinking water.
1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease.
Nearly 80% of illnesses in developing countries are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions.
But, for only $10, you can fix that for one person... for ten years!
Clean water doesn't just save lives, it changes them... forever.
