Mission: Without clean water humans do not live and do not prosper. Every human deserves clean water; yet each night almost 50% of the people on the planet go to bed thirsty and almost 60% without adequate sanitation. The poorest of the poor pay 10 to 20 times more (as a percentage of their income) for water, usually on the street, than do the wealthy. The WaterLife Foundation's mission is to help small communities in the developing world achieve sustainable supplies of drinking water, leading to better health and higher standards of living projects include wells, holding tanks, purification systems, training, and water management.
