Donate COVID-19: Access to safe water is critical to the health of families around the world. You can help now. 29 million people are more resilient to this global pandemic Water.org has empowered more than 29 million people with access to safe water or sanitation. Access to safe water at home directly helps families in need prepare and protect themselves from this pandemic, because they can wash their hands and don't have to leave their homes to collect water. See how the health of our world starts with safe water There's a smart way to end the water crisis Millions of people around the world could get access to safe water in their homes with the help of small, affordable loans. That's where Water.org comes in. We are here to bring safe water and sanitation to the world through access to small, affordable loans. There is both a need and demand for these loans, because when people have access to safe water, they get time back to go to school, earn an income and take care of their family. It changes their world. For more than 25 years, with your help, we've been providing families with hope, health and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. Learn how we empower families Your donation is a powerful catalyst One of the major barriers to safe water and sanitation is affordable financing. We address this barrier head-on through access to small, easily repayable loans. Every repaid loan creates a new opportunity for another family. By supporting Water.org, you are part of a solution that reaches more people, faster. Together with our 146 partners around the world, we've helped mobilize $2.3 billion in capital to support small loans that bring access to safe water and sanitation to millions of people in need. That’s how every $1 we put into WaterCredit creates $67 worth of impact. Donate now and multiply your impact Meet Rehana Rehana’s family lives in a small village in India. While her husband worked and her children went to school, Rehana used to walk up to six hours a day to get water for cooking, laundry, and baths. She retrieved the water from a water pump managed by the government, which was running some days and shut off others. On the days it was unavailable, Rehana purchased water from a vendor. In either case, Rehana paid high prices for water in time and money. Through Water.org’s partnership with her local bank, Rehana took out a small loan to construct a water connection on her property. Empowered with access to safe water at home, Rehana changed her world. Today her family continues to enjoy access to water at home. Rehana and her children can now get water a few feet from their door, rather than miles from home. Meet the people you impact 29 M Rehana is one of the 29 million people Water.org has empowered with access to safe water and sanitation. Our founders: Matt Damon and Gary White Ten years ago, Matt and Gary worked independently to help break down barriers between people and access to safe water. A common goal to pioneer smart solutions to the water crisis brought them together, and their combined water and sanitation expertise and star-power have allowed Water.org to emerge as a leader in the water and sanitation sector.
