Communities in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to clean water and proper sanitation. The only sources for many villages are badly polluted wells or mud-holes. Unclean water is the primary cause of disease, poverty, and hunger throughout the world and there's a simple solution: help them build their own clean water supplies.
Women and children are primarily affected, spending up to six hours each day collecting water that makes them sick. The simple addition of a proper well can completely transform the lives of the women in the area. Clean water can give young girls other opportunities in place of fetching water and one of those things is getting an education. Knowledge is power and we hope you join us to make a difference in these lives!

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.
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.
