We believe in water
Water.org is a global nonprofit organization working to bring water and sanitation to the world. We want to make it safe, accessible, and cost-effective.
We help people get access to safe water and sanitation through affordable financing, such as small loans. We give our everything every day to empower people in need with these life-changing resources – giving women hope, children health and families a bright future.
Access to water turns poverty into possibility
Today 844 million people — 1 in 9 — lack access to safe water at home. And 2.3 billion — 1 in 3 people — don’t have access to a toilet. The water crisisnegatively impacts the health and livelihood of more than one-third of our global population. We exist to change this.
For millions of women, children, and communities, access to safe water can turn problems into potential — unlocking education, economic opportunity and improved health.
Founded on passion and experience
For more than 25 years, we’ve made it our mission to bring water and sanitation to the world. Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, we pioneer market-driven financial solutions to the global water crisis.
Our approach is proven and powerful
Expanding upon the success of WaterCredit, Water.org offers a portfolio of smart solutions that break down the financial barriers between people living in poverty and access to safe water and sanitation. We work with and through partners to increase access to financing for those whose need it most. This will help achieve safe water and sanitation for all.
