Invest in a world where everyone has clean water

February 2026 Update

When I first asked Notes from the Universe subscribers to help me raise $1,000,000, I’ll admit… it felt a little pie-in-the-sky. But in just over a year — we did it. So… we stretched. We raised the goal to $5,000,000. And shiver-me-timbers… we just reached that one, too. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Because of you, approximately 126,226 people in communities across Africa and Asia finally have access to clean and safe water. And we’re not stopping. Not until every precious person on this precious planet is provided for. We’re recalibrating now (donors, expect a survey soon), and as soon as we set our next goal, you’ll be the first to know.

Our Work

696 million people lack basic access to clean and safe drinking water. We're on a mission to change that.

We believe that sustainable work is locally-led. Along with implementing community-owned water projects, our local partners help facilitate comprehensive water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programming to protect everyone’s long-term health.

“Giving monthly helps me to never forget those who are in need.”

“To know that 100% of our monthly donation provides clean drinking water makes us feel so good about our monthly contribution.”

Marty & Richard Dutch

“I give monthly because the less a child has to think about their need for clean water, the more they can learn and grow and dream and do.”
