Each day, many millions of people walk long distances or wait hours to get safe water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Water.org, co-founded by Matt Damon and Gary White, helps people in developing countries obtain safe drinking water and basic sanitation (toilets).
If you contacting us regarding a media opportunity, please complete the Media Request Form and we will respond as quickly as possible. Please note, while Matt Damon is our co-founder, we cannot accept unrelated inquiries for his work.
