About charity: water
Since charity: water was founded in 2006, we've been chasing one ambitious goal: ending the global water crisis. Since then, we've funded 138,003 water projects, serving over 17 million people.
From the beginning, we've made a few promises:
We give 100%
100% of the money donated to charity: water goes directly to funding clean water projects. Private donors cover our operating costs, which means every penny of every dollar can go where it's needed most.
We prove it
We don't expect you to take our word for it. Our next-level commitment to tracking and transparency means we don't just tell you you're having an impact. We show you, with GPS coordinates and photos of the exact project(s) you've helped fund.
We think local — and long‑term
We don't just drop in, build a well and disappear. When we provide water for a community, we want the impact to be for good — which means we work closely with local partners, remaining invested in the integrity of projects for the long haul.
