Mission statement

771 million people around the world live without access to clean water. Instead, they rely on water sources like ponds, rivers, and unprotected wells. These sources, in addition to being difficult to reach, are often dirty and contaminated, exposing those who drink the water to serious diseases. The good news is, with access to clean water, health can be restored.

This year, Smile Generation is committed to restoring health in communities throughout Ethiopia by supporting clean water projects.

For every $30 donated, you’ll receive $100 off your dental treatment. 100% of every dollar will go to clean water, and together, we’ll build a brighter, healthier future for all.

Please join us as we Give Water, Give Health.

charity: water is a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe water to people around the world.
A private group of philanthropists cover our operating costs so that 100% of all public donations can directly fund clean water projects.
Projects supported to date

The Smile Generation has partially funded 82 projects.
