We have a confession
There’s no fancy, magical subscription for guaranteed good vibes. (We know, we know.) It would be great if you could snap your fingers, find a four-leaf clover, or wish on a shooting star and instantly attract good luck and new opportunities.
But wishing isn’t working. You can only generate positive change in your life by having a positive impact on the world around you.
You can change lives today. Give reliable access to clean, safe drinking water. Your gift will take less than 2 minutes, but you’ll give a lifetime of good vibes — and health and opportunity and income — to someone in a rural community.

We believe the world needs more clean water (and good vibes)
So, way back in 2006 we started working to end the water crisis, a global injustice that affects 771 million people around the world.
Access to clean water completely transforms rural communities. No longer burdened by the daily walk for water, women and girls pursue their education or earn an income. With their newfound free time, people start small businesses or grow their farms and herds, making it easier than ever to provide for their families. And clean water radically improves health: dirty water takes more than 9,000 lives every week. 1
In 16 years — yes, we’re in our rebellious, teenage phase — we’ve funded clean water for over 16,900,000 people. (That’s more than the populations of London, Los Angeles, and Paris, combined.)
186,000

You can trust us
We get it. It’s 2023. Who really trusts anything anymore? (Remember precedented times? Yeah, pretty sure we collectively left trust back there.) But here at charity: water, you can give with confidence. All of our operational expenses are funded by a private community of donors, so you can trust 100% of your donation will go directly to water solutions, every cent, every time.
But we don’t stop there. From our commitment to equipping local partners, to our tech, to the environmental sustainability of our water projects: “good enough” is never good enough for us. We’re setting new standards for transparency and innovation. These companies and organizations agree.
