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 40,000 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 50+ water projects providing clean water to over 40,000 people in Africa and India. We are rapidly expanding our capacity to drill wells in Western Kenya and our partners in India are also prepared to expand their efforts.
