Give by 31 December
Showing up changes everything
In a world stretched thin and full of noise, showing up is an act of courage. Right now, 1 in 10 people on Earth live without clean water. This month, we can change that for 50,000 people.
£30 gives one person access to clean water, while £180 provides it for a family. Give today and 100% of your gift will go directly to water projects — fueling commitment, reliability, and hope that endures long after the first faucet flows.
This goal uses an average cost per person of £30. Gifts made to our US entity are converted to the approximate local currency using the average USD/GBP rate from the prior month.
It only takes £30 to bring 1 person access to clean water.

When REST refused to rest
As conflict erupted in northern Ethiopia, our local partner the Relief Society of Tigray (REST) could have stepped back. Instead, they stepped forward — repairing wells, delivering supplies, and helping families survive.
Their courage is backed by supporters like you. Together, we’re showing that clean water can't be taken away, even in the darkest times.
The letters we received said, "We need help.”
Showing up adds up
Whether you give to provide clean water for one family or an entire community, you’re joining a global movement of people who are transforming generations with the gift of clean water — and we’ve got the numbers to prove it.

52
minutes
The average household saves 52 minutes per day in water collection time thanks to charity: water grants. For women and girls in particular, this means more time toward getting an education, starting businesses, and taking charge of their futures.
56
percent
In Nepal, clean water projects reduced worry by more than 56%, with 71.1% reporting a feeling of worry before having clean water, compared to just 14.6% after.
Give water. Get proof.
When you give to charity: water, you buy into the promise that 100% of your gift will fund clean water and that we’ll prove it.

It starts with you
The water crisis won’t end because of grand gestures. It will end because people, like you, keep showing up for others they may never even meet. Again and again.
That’s what brings water to communities. That’s what restores hope. That’s what changes everything.
Give today to help bring the gift of clean water to 50,000 people.
Sponsor an entire water project
You can change everything for a community, school, or health clinic by sponsoring a water project. On average, water projects start at £8,500 and can cost up to £25,000 or more, depending on the location and project type.
