charity: water is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. Since 2006, we've funded 19,819 water projects in 24 developing countries. When complete, these projects will provide clean, safe drinking water for more than 6.1 million people.
Nearly 663 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water, that's one in nine of us. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of diseases and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
The good news: there are simple solutions, from deep drilled wells to water filtration systems. And with the help of 400,000+ donors and individual fundraisers, we're forming a strong force against the water crisis. Join us.
