Background

Date Founded: 2007
Number of Staff: 4

Description of Services:
We help raise both awareness and the funds needed to provide the most basic and life-sustaining need of people, water.

We believe that providing clean water restores hope by enabling our partners to make a life-changing impact through their broader development activity.

We work closely with partners around the world who identify, implement, report on and follow up on each project. We share this information with our supporters through innovative tools online that inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
History:
We began our joint mission to alleviate suffering in August of 2006. What started with a few inspired teens and adults, in Saint John, NB Canada - now based in Charlotte, NC, USA - today reaches thousands of people every week with a compelling call to action.

The Water Project, to date, has helped over 125,000 people improve their access to clean water. All of us have experienced the impact a few voices can have. We know that every effort and contribution matters. That's why we continue to tell others, so that they might do the same.

We're asking you to very seriously consider how you might be a part of this effort with us.
Accomplishments & Progress:
To date The Water Project has funded over 330 water projects providing clean, safe water to more than 125,000 people in Africa, Haiti and India.

Additional Information

Additional Background Information:
The Water Project is providing access to clean drinking water in developing nations by:

1.) Connecting donors to proven partners who are drilling fresh water wells, providing sanitation and hygiene training and constructing other sustainable water projects.

2.) Showing every donor the specific impact of their gifts through photos, short stories and GPS map coordinates of every project.

3.) Following up, monitoring and evaluating the projects we support to help ensure our shared work has a long-term impact.


We're empowering local NGOs (non-governmental organizations) with an established presence in effected communities to do the work that's needed to find and collect clean water. We send money and expertise to help local communities build their own long-term water solutions and then ensure they are trained to manage it.

We believe that our partners in the field know best how to help their communities. Our part is telling their stories and inspiring people to act.
