Ride for Water Alumni

Cycling across the United States to fight the global water crisis.

Ride for Water began in 2012 when five college students learned about the global water crisis. Wanting to take action, they decided to bike across the United States to raise awareness. In May of 2013, the team departed, raising over $37,500 for clean water along the way. Every year since then, other teams have followed suit, continuing to expand, fundraise, and ride. Today, Ride for Water is a network of difference-makers that have collectively raised over $350,000 toward clean water projects! Even our ride may be over, we'll still keep fundraising in the name of clean water!

Clean water changes everything
In communities without access to clean water, women and girls spend hours everyday collecting dirty water. Not only does the walk for water keep children out of school and prevent women from earning an income, the water often carries diseases that make everyone sick.
When a community gets access to clean water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.

Impact in progress

More work is underway in Burkina Faso, Malawi, and Mozambique. Hang tight — it takes about 21 months to build, implement, and then fully report back on a water project. Learn more.
