The latest on our work and those supporting it
New Well for the Shipala Community
Shipala Community in Kenya is comprised of small scale farmers and most of their activities depend on water. To fetch water, community members would walk a half mile each way to a protected stream. However, the stream was seasonal and during the dry season, you’d have to wake up early for the chance of water. People in […]
We Know Water is Flowing Here
Remote water-point monitoring is becoming a reality. Our monthly donors are making it happen. The L’Wanda K Secondary school, pictured above, is home to nearly 200 students. And as you know, daily access to safe water is essential to their education, good health and hopeful futures. But we really can’t fully celebrate the benefits of […]

Charting Impact Report
The Water Project just completed our Charting Impact Report as a demonstration of our commitment to ongoing transparency and accountability in support of our mission.
Well by Well – We Can Do That
We all know how much our military men and women give in service to our country, but LT Jared N. Smith, Command Chaplain in the Naval Air Facility El Centro, also encourages his congregation to give generously to important causes like The Water Project. The Navy must donate the congregation’s weekly collection to non- profit […]
“Do a good job, and work hard.”
Children can inspire us in so many ways; they have energy, enthusiasm, and an optimism for life that seems unquenchable. At just five years old, Tayler is setting himself as an example for all of us. Read how this boy raised $500 but knew that he wanted to do more, showing all of us how […]
