In a world where access to clean water should be a basic human right, it's shocking to realize millions still lack this fundamental need. That's why Water.org has become a beacon of hope for me.
Learning about entire communities struggling without safe drinking water in 2024 is simply unacceptable. Water.org tackles this crisis head-on by focusing on financial barriers. Their approach empowers people by providing microloans to build sustainable water solutions.
Water.org isn't just about charity; it's about empowerment and long-term solutions. By enabling communities to build and manage their own water systems, they foster self-sufficiency and dignity.
This organization has become a go-to for my donations. Water.org offers a clear path to a future where everyone has access to safe water, a basic need for health and a springboard for a better life.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: International, International Development
Mission: Water.org empowers people around the world with access to safe water and sanitation. We do this by partnering with in-country financial institutions to help people in need access small, affordable loans that enable them to install household water connections and toilets.
Results: Our solutions are working and gaining momentum. We're reaching more than one million people every few months. To date Water.org has helped change the lives of more than 66 million people with access to safe water and sanitation in 17 countries around the world, giving families hope, health and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 9.7 million people get lasting access to safe water or sanitation
Geographic areas served: Bangladesh, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Tanzania and Uganda
Programs: One of the major barriers to safe water and sanitation is access to affordable financing. Water.org addresses this barrier head-on by helping bring small, easily repayable loans and expert resources to make household water and toilet solutions a reality. Our solution provides families with a sustainable water or sanitation solution for their home, rather than a temporary fix. It helps the people we empower solve their immediate need and continues to enrich their lives long after the loan has been repaid. As each loan is repaid it creates a new opportunity for another family. This is a pay-it-forward system that makes it possible to help more people in ways that will last.
