Clean Water Changes Everything
703 million people in the world live without clean water. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.
We're on a mission to change that. When you donate to charity: water, you’re investing in the hopes and dreams of families around the world. Families are healthier. Children are able to attend school full-time. Women can start a business or simply rest. Fathers have enough water for their crops and livestock. Communities thrive. That’s the power of your generosity.
