2 billion people lack access to clean water.
we are changing that.
Water is a complex problem
Quality
Water-borne diseases are one of the world's leading causes of death, but families drink water with deadly bacteria because they have no other choice.
access
In rural communities, women and girls walk 3.5 miles every day to collect water. Carrying 20 liters of water, they are at risk of serious injury and lose precious time for family, work or school.
sustainability
Most water projects fail after 2 years because they don't involve communites in the development of solutions, leading to lack of maintenance, poor cultural fit and inappropriate costs.
how we work
We develop a deep understanding of the specific strengths and challenges of the communities we work with, while ensuring they are involved in every step of the solution
We integrate the most appropriate water technologies and systems with community members to address their unique problems.
From day one, we plan for sustainability. We build capacity through training and education so communities enjoy clean water for years to come.
our impact
25%
decrease in child mortality
We are committed to each community's development
Our approach has ripple effects beyond clean water.
In this way, we are tackling 8 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
