Care For Clean Water Projects

 

OUR MISSION

 

To bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Water changes everything.

​

​

Why Water? 

 

For people in developing countries, clean water can change everything. 

 

663 million people in the world live without clean water.  

 

That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Or, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep kids out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick. 

 

But access to clean water means education, income and health - especially for women and kids. 

 

Clean water changes everything. 

 

Health

 

Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. 

43% of those deaths are children under five years old. Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.

​

Time

 

In Africa alone, women spend 40 billion hours a year walking for water.

Access to clean water gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school -- all of which fight poverty. 

 

Education

 

Clean water helps keep kids in school, especially girls. 

Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don’t have to stay home for a week out of every month. 

 

Women Empowerment 

 

Women are responsible for 72% of the water collected in Sub-Saharan Africa.  

When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures. 

 

How do we tackle the water crisis? 

We work with local experts and community members to find the best sustainable solution in each place where we work, whether it’s a well, a piped system, a BioSand Filter, or a system for harvesting rainwater. And with every water point we fund, our partners coordinate sanitation and hygiene training, and establish a local Water Committee to help keep water flowing for years to come. 

 

Every $1 invested in clean water can yield $4–$12 in economic returns.

​

It’s a solid investment. access to clean water is perhaps the single most powerful tool for sparking economic growth that humanity has ever known. 

 

Where we work 

 

We fund water programs in 12 countries around the globe - in Africa, Asia, Central and South America. Water scarcity, poverty, political stability and strong partner organizations all play a part in where we choose to work. We focus on providing rural communities with their first access to clean water. 

 

We're not just about funding new wells, we're also taking care of the ones we've already built. This is how we ensure that our water projects continue to provide clean water to communities long after they are installed. Pipeline is a system of local leaders, innovative technology and trained mechanics all working together to keep water flowing at charity: water projects around the world.  

1. Thirst Relief - Clean Water Project :

 

Provide clean water by building a well in your name or that of a loved one 

 

Three children die every minute from drinking dirty water. With reliable access to clean water, thousands of lives could be saved each day.

You can provide life-saving clean water by building a well in your name, or the name of a loved one. 

  

The Prophet (saw) was reported to have said: 

"The best charity is to provide water.” [Ibn Majah]

​

Drinking dirty, diseased water is one of the most common causes of death in the developing world, so you could be saving lives for years to come.

Through Thirst Relief we’re building wells in 12 countries, providing safe water to drink, wash and clean, to grow crops and to water animals. This can lead to healthier lives, a better chance to go to school or work and a route out of poverty. 

Wells can take six to nine months to be built, and we'll send you a feedback report so you can see your well and find out about the people it is supporting.

 

Start building your well now for less than $3 per day.
