The solution is simple. The impact is enormous.

Hundreds of millions of people lack access to safe, drinkable water—but this is a solvable crisis.

Clean water is a multiplier of human potential. It improves health, reduces disease, increases school attendance, and empowers communities to thrive. One well can lift an entire village, creating a chain reaction of sustainable progress. We believe a future where everyone has access to clean water is not just possible—it’s within reach.

    1 in 11 people worldwide are without clean drinking water

    That’s over 700 million people across the globe—many of whom spend hours each day just to collect water that may still be unsafe to drink.

  • Young boy crouching on green grass, playing with water in a blue basin outdoors.

    Dirty water kills more people each year than all forms of violence, including war.

    Waterborne illnesses like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery claim hundreds of thousands of lives—many of them children under five.

    Diarrheal disease is the 3rd leading cause of death in children under 5

    Many of these cases are preventable with access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and good hygiene.

    Globally 3 in 10 schools don't have basic water service

    Students face higher risks of disease, missed class time, and long-term setbacks. The impact is especially severe for girls, who are more likely to drop out due to a lack of private, sanitary facilities.

  • Group of seven children standing on dirt ground in a dry, sparse landscape with leafless trees in the background.

    Women and girls bear the burden

    In many developing countries, they walk an average of four miles each day to collect water—exhausting, time-consuming work that keeps them out of school and limits their ability to pursue education, opportunity, or independence.

How does a community benefit from clean water?

  • No more long, daily treks to distant or contaminated sources. Women and girls spend an estimated 250 million hours collecting water every day.

  • When children no longer have to fetch water or battle illness, they stay in school longer. There is strong correlation between education and financial stability.

  • Access to clean water can reduce poverty. With time and energy restored, families can farm, build businesses, or pursue other income-generating activities.

  • Access to safe drinking water drastically lowers the risk of diarrhea and other waterborne illnesses that cause malnutrition and death. Greater financial stability also means greater access to health services.

  • Freed from daily water collection, women gain time, dignity, and opportunity. Access to clean water and proper sanitation helps young women stay in school—especially during menstruation—supporting health, confidence, and equal opportunity to learn and thrive.
