Our Water Programs team uses careful discretion in choosing the water programs we fund. We currently work with 58 local partners around the world to assess and determine areas and communities in need of clean water and sanitation. We choose the countries where we work based on water scarcity, poverty, political stability -- and the availability of strong local organizations in which we can partner with for major change.
charity: water cannot accommodate requests from donors to work in certain countries, with specific partners, or fund specific technologies. We honor the chance to be good stewards of your fundraising efforts – and we take it very seriously. Unfortunately, if you send in a check with a requested country restriction, we won't be able to honor it.
You can be sure that 100% of the money you give or raise will go to a community that’s very much in need. See our completed projects here.
