Join Others Who are Helping
Over the last 12 months, over 750 groups all over the U.S and Canada signed up to take "The Water Challenge" and raise money to build wells at schools and community centers in Africa.
Those wells are being installed right now! And these same groups are watching it all happen online. Now...it's your turn!

This is a NO COMMITMENT button. So, don't panic.
"Signing-up" just helps organize things for you.
Here's How It Works
- Give it Up
Make water your only beverage...for 2 weeks. - Collect Your Savings
Take the money you would have spent on soda, juice, sports drinks, bottled water etc., and put it aside to give clean water. Collect your savings in a cup wrapped with a "The Water Challenge" label. - Wear your wristband
It'll help you remember to choose water and to spread the word. 
Continue your sacrifice for 2 weeks.
If you are heading toward the soda machine, head for the water fountain instead. If your family goes out to dinner and you usually order iced tea, ask for water. It's free. You'll be amazed at how the savings add up. Encourage your whole family to participate.- Give it Away
After 2 weeks, calculate the amount of money saved by your sacrifice and give water through The Water Project, Inc. It will be used to drill new water wells in Kenya, Sierra Leone, Sudan or India...you choose!
Give...Then See
You can choose how and where the money you raise will help build wells and water projects.
Then, within about 8-12 months, you will be able to see the well or project you helped build!
We'll post pictures, GPS coordinates, and brief community reports right from the field as soon as the project gets started.
See the work we're doing right now to get an idea of what you'll see too!

Still Not Sure?
Last year we sent out over 200,000 participant bracelets. Together we brought clean water to tens of thousands of people.
We've featured some of the groups who've recently completed the challenge on our site - so you can get inspired. They all had one thing in common. They far exceeded their own goals! Most do...
Don't take our word for it...
Here's a great video one of our supporters made. We had nothing to do with it...which is actually very cool.
