$25 saves a life

Worldwide on average it only costs $25 to bring safe water to someone for life. That's it and the problem is solved—forever.

Included in those costs are community organizing, hygiene education, geo surveys, project costs with money left over for ongoing maintenance.

$100 saves a family

Why not help an entire family? In many of regions we work the average family size is four persons. Do you have a family of your own? What would it be like to live without access to safe water—or spending hours each day collecting it for your family? $100 allows us to help an entire family for life.

Success in India

Introduction to WaterCredit and it’s impact in India from Water.org

In July co-founders Matt Damon and Gary White visited program work in southern India. Our local office has been an early pilot facilitator of our microfinance solution, WaterCredit, that enables the poor to take control of their water and sanitation challenges and one of the objectives of our visit was to evaluate the progress of this work.

This video explains the program, some of the many beneficial impacts and the ultimate direction of our work to relentlessly innovate for the sector to affect real change in the developing world.
