Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have clean water to drink?

I'm helping raise funds to provide clean, safe drinking water to people who suffer needlessly without it in the developing world, and could really use your help!

Our donations will be used to construct a specific water project. We'll get pictures, GPS coordinates, and reports from the field, as they happen. We'll see the actual results of what we've done.

In their own words...

Hello all,

I have a class this semester that requires students to take up a cause and raise money for a Non-Governmental Organization working to improve the lives of people in underderveloped nations.  My first thought was water, as I had recently read a U.N. report that said that lack of access to water and the consumption of contaminated water are now responsible for more deaths world-wide than all forms of violence.  This is eye-opening, and unlike war, the solution is something that is rather simple...dig, repair, and maintain wells.  The Water Project works with local agencies to efficiently carry out this goal in Sub-Saharan Africa and India, which are locations with the greatest need of clean water.  If you have a few extra dollars, anything helps, if you don't, please pass this along to others to at least spread awareness. 

Thank you,

Peter Howard

About Us

The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that's bringing relief to communities around the world who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water.

We tell stories. The story of water, the story of change, and the story of hope. These stories inspire people to raise the money needed to build wells and other water projects at schools, medical centers, churches and other public places in under-developed nations.

With monies raised, our partners in the field can do the digging and construction needed to provide clean, safe water efficiently and sustainably. They also mobilize, train, and follow-up with local communities, helping ensure long-term success.

We work closely with our partners around the world who identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. That's how we share the whole story with you and hopefully inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
