100%		WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
One hundred percent of every donation made to charity: water directly funds water projects in developing countries. Our administrative costs are raised through a separate set of donors and foundations. We pay for every light bulb, plane ticket and staff member separately, so every penny of your money reaches those in need.		We only fund direct costs associated with the construction, maintenance and long-term effectiveness of the well. This includes materials like cement, pumps and fuel for the drilling rig. Money is also allocated to train community members how to maintain their new water source, and often for basic hygiene and sanitation training. Sustainability is key, and we strongly believe in these community training programs, as they drastically improve the long-term effectiveness of the well.
