We’re charity: water and we’re working to end the water crisis. WE’RE A NONPROFIT ON A MISSION TO BRING CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER TO PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. With the help of hundreds of thousands of generous supporters, we’ve funded more than 16,000 water projects in 24 countries, bringing clean water to 5.2 million people so far. And we’re just getting started.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE? 100% of all public donations directly fund water project costs, we prove every project we build using photos and GPS coordinates on Google Maps, and we work with strong local implementing partners to build and maintain projects.
