charity: water

Everyone needs clean and safe drinking water. charity: water is an organization that helps to provide just that. All proceeds donated are directed towards water projects in developing nations.


Unsafe drinking water claims the lives of many each year. This is more prevalent among children being that their immune systems aren't as strong as adults.

charity: water works to improve conditions by building water projects in communities, which:

• provides clean drinking water
• allows water for irrigation, which helps in the creation of small gardens so that families can fed themselves and sell the extra food for income
• children can spend more time in school instead of spending the day gathering water for the family
• promotes gender equality by appointing both men and women to oversee the water

In order for charity: water to achieve its mission, they create partnerships with local organizations. If you're interested in aiding in their cause, you can volunteer, start a fundraiser or donate. Donating $20 can help one person receive clean water.
