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 your sick, you can't go school. If your 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.
Individuals, small groups, schools and families all around the world are helping fund new water wells and other water projects. You can too!
We've built the tools you need to make a real impact. Jump in today. We need your voice.
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!
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.
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.
Our unique system let's you track your donation to specific project. Then, you can follow it, from construction to water flowing and into the future as we check up on it.
Maps, pictures, stories and details from the specific project you support connect you to the people you help.

Over the past few months there has been an interesting collaboration happening involving The Water Project, The US Navy and Hydraid (www.hydraid.com), all in the interest of aiding communities in Africa as they try to rise up from poverty and ill health. So what’s been going on? Well….. (more…)
Our team in Kakamega was out recently with the students at the Nabongo Primary School preparing them for their upcoming well project.
Before a well is constructed, our partners spend time training the community or school in proper sanitation and hygiene.
Teaching why dirty water makes one sick is an important part of the process.

UPDATE (3/19/2009): This location was actually home to 2 new wells. The area is densely populated. From their visit at the dedication, our partner reported…
The project was located next to a new building which was undergoing construction. The evening was approaching and the scene was quite festive. (more…)

Well #8 sponsored by Northview Christian Church
Our partner reports from the field that…
Close to this project is a school and large church and yet even with this, accessible water is limited and so they are forced to the fields for water.
This is Well #6, given by Northview Christian Church.
The villagers using this project were previously forced to take water from sources which were really unfit for consumption. The overhead tanks built by the government are not supplying water due to limited power and even when water was in the tank it was dirty and unsafe. As a result of this project, now with the bore well in their locale, they can drink confidently.
This is Well #5, given by Northview Christian Church.
In this village there are 100 dalit families with a population of 400 in the Adi Dravidar Street area. Most of them are landless agricultural laborers.
Students celebrate their new well
This is well #4 funded by Northview Christian Church.
Our partner reports,
Poondi Pu School was our second stop of the day with 6 projects to go. This is a government run school which from an appearance point of view was a stark contrast than our previous stop. (more…)
Here’s some more details about the new Meetpar School well in India, donated by Northview Christian Church.
This is well #3 donated by Northview Christian Church. In a few more days we’ll begin to post those brief reports and GPS fixes we promised.
(our partner is a bit jet-lagged having just returned home)
In the meantime…enjoy more fruits of this great work!
These shots were taken just a few days ago in India at the site of our latest completed project.
This well was funded by Northview Christian Church.
This is the Meetpar High School Well.
More to come soon!
