charity: water

Design for Humanity is Billabong's charitable initiative. It began as an opportunity for Billabong's marketing, art and design teams to come together and give back to a non-profit close to the heart of our industry.

We are thrilled to be working with charity: water and are proud to have them as this year’s beneficiary of Design For Humanity. Bringing fresh, clean drinking water to developing nations is a basic necessity that we often take for granted in our own country. We applaud the work that charity: water does each and every day and are excited to see this year’s donation be put to good use in the field. In every aspect of life, it’s so true that “water changes everything”....

Now in it's 3rd year, Design for Humanity has become an opportunity not for Billabong but our retailers, athletes, celebrities, artists, and ultimately you. What has started out with an amazing event will continue throughout the year. Join us as we support charity: water in their efforts to bring clean, safe drinking water to those who need it most.

Right now, 1.1 billion people on the planet don't have access to clean and safe drinking water. That's one in six of us.

charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 100% of all public donations go to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need. Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years.
The water crisis.
1.1 billion people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us. 80% of all disease is attributable to the lack of water and basic sanitation. Unsafe water claims more lives each year than war. Learn more >
How you can help.
