When you fundraise for Water For People, you create a ripple effect!

1 in 4 people around the world don’t have access to safe water.

Nearly 1 in 2 people around the world doesn’t have access to a dignified toilet.

Access to water fuels health, hope, education, optimism, and prosperity. It boosts opportunities for everyone, especially women and girls. Children stay in school longer. Fewer people die of illnesses caused by contaminated water. Increased education and improved health bring economic prosperity to entire regions. Families have more time to work, play, and simply spend together.

Water For People’s proven Everyone Forever model has helped bring clean drinking water to millions of people. Everyone means every family, clinic, and school in a district has water and sanitation services. Forever mean water and sanitation services are sustainable and local districts and communities can maintain them for generations to come.
