Every day, families around the world struggle to find safe water. It’s not just inconvenient — it’s deadly. Children suffer, women walk for hours, and entire communities are trapped in the cycle of poverty.
1 in 4 people globally, lack safely managed drinking water
Every 90 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease
200 million hours are spent daily collecting water — mostly by women and girls
This crisis doesn’t just steal health — it steals time, opportunity, and hope. But together, we can change the story. By providing clean water, we restore dignity, empower women and children, and open the door to a brighter future.
Access to clean water transforms entire communities. It restores health, opens doors to education, and creates opportunities for families to thrive. Through your generosity and our trusted partners on the ground, we can build solutions that last for generations.

Safe, life-giving water flowing in the heart of a community means families no longer have to walk miles each day just to survive. A new well or rainwater system brings immediate relief — children can drink safely, mothers can cook with dignity, and entire villages can thrive again.

Waterborne diseases kill more children every year than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined. With clean water and sanitation training, families are freed from the constant fear of sickness. Children grow up healthier, stronger, and able to attend school instead of fighting for survival.

Before clean water, women and girls can spend up to 6 hours every day walking to collect it — time stolen from education, family, and opportunity. With safe water close to home, that time is given back. Girls return to school, mothers can earn income, and communities flourish with renewed hope.
Every dollar you give goes to work immediately — bringing clean water, restoring health, and unlocking opportunity for families in need. With proven partners and lasting solutions, your generosity creates impact that echoes for decades.

A single well provides clean water for 500–1,000 people. Mothers no longer walk miles, and children return to school instead of carrying heavy water jugs.

With proper maintenance, a well can last 20–50 years. That’s why we fund not just drilling, but training and support to keep water flowing for generations.

Every $1 invested in clean water and sanitation creates an estimated $4–$7 in economic returns — through better health, more time for education, and greater opportunity for families to work and thrive.
