Help Fund a Water Project
We are a team of six undergraduate students in the iGive philanthropy program at the University of Maryland. The issue of a lack of access to clean water in isolated rural communities in Africa has been one which greatly resonates with us. We cannot think of another amazing cause with the potential to make such a large impact, and we will strive to do as much as we can for those who are less fortunate in the world. We ask that you please donate and become part of the solution where every penny counts toward changing the lives of those in developing communities!
Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.

Why It Matters
About The Water Project
The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing clean, safe water to communities around the world who suffer needlessly without.
Working with local partners in countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Uganda, we build long lasting water projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.
Together, with our partners we identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. Then we share the whole story with you to inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
