Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles

Water For People works to build a world where all people have access to safe drinking water and sanitation, and where no one suffers or dies from a water- or sanitation-related disease. This is our vision.

We’re on a mission. We work with people and partners to develop innovative and long-lasting solutions to the water, sanitation, and hygiene problems in the developing world. We strive to continually improve, to experiment with promising new ideas, and to leverage resources to multiply our impact.

FOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES. ONE HUMAN NEED.

We believe in people:
We respect the dignity of all people.

We keep it local:
We believe that water, sanitation, and hygiene problems are most effectively solved using local resources.

We keep good company:
We search out trusted partners who share our vision and work together to build long-term relationships based on trust.

We keep our promises:
We believe we owe it to the communities we serve, our volunteers, staff, and donors to act with integrity and manage our resources effectively and efficiently.
