Help bring clean and safe water to every person on the planet
771 million people live without clean water. The daily effort to collect dirty water forces families to journey away from home and makes it harder to earn an income. It keeps kids out of school and steals their education.
Access to clean water changes everything. But our work to end the water crisis can’t start without your support. You can help provide education, income, dignity, and health — especially for women and girls. No matter how much you choose to give, 100% will directly fund clean water for those who need it most.
