About Charity: Water

Charity: Water brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries, working to end the global water crisis within our lifetime.[web:63][web:67]

By partnering with experienced local organizations, they help communities build and maintain wells, rainwater catchments, filtration systems, and piped water so families no longer have to walk for hours just to find a drink.[web:63][web:75]


The 100% Model

One of the things that sets Charity: Water apart is its promise that 100% of public donations go directly to water projects in the field, with separate funding streams and bank accounts covering all overhead and staff costs.[web:63][web:68][web:74]

Every project is tracked and reported back with photos, GPS coordinates, and updates, so donors can see exactly where their gift went and which community now has clean water because of it.[web:63][web:69][web:75]


Lives Transformed by Clean Water

For families who used to walk hours every day for dirty water, a local, reliable water source means children can stay in school, parents can work, and entire villages can focus on building a better future instead of just surviving.[web:63][web:72][web:75]

Charity: Water’s projects are designed to be sustainable and community-owned, with training, maintenance plans, and local technicians helping ensure that clean water keeps flowing year after year.[web:63][web:75]
