1 Billion People Don't Have Clean, Safe Water

Why Water?

Water & Health »
Dirty water makes people sick. Hospitals and medical clinics can't help without it. Learn about how health is linked to clean water.

Water & Education »
If you're sick, you can't go school. If you're too busy fetching water, you can't study. Safe water helps students achieve more. Discover how.

Water & Hunger »
It's easy to forget that without access to water, it's much harder to grow food. Find out how a well can free a family from the worry of hunger.

Water & Poverty »
Without food to eat, an education and decent health, poverty is inevitable. Read about the link between water and poverty, and how to help.

How to Get Involved

Sponsor a Water Project »

Every donation to The Water Project is linked to a specific project, no matter how much you give. But, if you'd like to sponsor an entire project on your own, or with your school or church, we want to help!

Start a Fundraiser »

One of the best ways to help is to rally your friends and family. And we're making that easy. Setup your own page in minutes. Celebrate a birthday, run a race.

Take the Water Challenge »

Find a group of friends. Commit to a two-week challenge. We'll provide all the resources you need, for free. You bring the will power. Together, we'll change lives.

OctoberfeAst 2009

“Come to OktoberfeAst! Drink, give, rejoice, and help us build a well!”

That’s how the invite read when a non-profit group in California decided to step-up and do something they’d never done before for people they’ve never met.

Over 150 people, 65 pounds of Bratwurst, and one polka band were just the beginning of a great day of giving this past November. Together they raised $5,300 for clean water!

Now…in just a few months, well drillers will begin constructing the first of two wells that Who Will We Will and friends funded in Sudan. Thanks for all your…ahem…hard work.
