Co-founded by Matt Damon and Gary White, Water.org is working for the day when everyone in the world can take a safe drink of water. Water.org has reached hundreds of communities in Africa, South Asia, and Central America with access to safe water and sanitation.

Water-related disease claims the lives of more than 3.5 million people each year – 84% are children – 98% occur in developing countries – ALL are preventable.

Water.org’s solution: build safe water and sanitation projects with people not for people. Water.org engages communities at every stage - from project planning, building and financing, to ongoing project maintenance. This ensures that the project is sustainable in the long run.

Water.org also offers WaterCredit, small loans that empower individuals and communities to purchase their own water solution and repay the cost over time. Repaid loans go back into a revolving loan fund and are used to help the next community in need.
