Safe water protects and saves lives
Water.org has helped empower more than 76 million people with access to safe water or sanitation.
We believe water is the best investment the world can make to improve health, help empower women, enable access to education, increase family income, and change lives. Yet 2.2 billion people lack access to safe water.
We’re working to change this. Water.org is a global nonprofit organization working to bring water and sanitation to the world.
For millions around the world, access to funds stands between them and safe water and sanitation in their homes.
That’s where Water.org comes in. Water.org offers smart solutions that break down the barriers between people living in poverty and access to safe water and sanitation.
Our solutions are working! Today more than 76 million people around the world can turn on a tap or safely use a toilet because small, affordable loans empowered them to get access to safe water or sanitation.
