Global Water Poverty Calls for a Game Changer
World population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. Already, 884 million people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion lack adequate sanitation facilities.
With today’s urgency to solve safe water issues, there is too much emphasis on immediate reactions and short-term fixes. Sustainable water and sanitation solutions require time, creativity, and innovation. Let’s work together to build a lasting future.
Join Water For People in championing a new movement. Sign the commitment.
The Everyone Commitment
From ambitious missions to real, strategic implementation, Everyone allows all people everywhere to:
- Access clean, safe water
- Keep water flowing and latrines useful
- Identify and maintain new, sustainable solutions
Extending from the community to state and national levels, Everyone supports the right systems, financing, and capacity infrastructure for true, long-term solutions.
Using these principles and working together, we can shift the international water and sanitation development sector to success.
- Everyone in the regions where an organization works should have access to water and sanitation. Even the hardest to reach, the poorest and most isolated, must have these basic services for everyone to stay healthy and for economic development to occur.
- Solutions should last long into the future, with water and sanitation services expanding as populations grow. Future generations should benefit from the investments that are made today.
- Local ownership is essential to sustainability. The government, community organizations and local businesses, and people should contribute financially and ensure there are sufficient resources for implementation, maintenance, and expansion of systems.
- All stakeholders should be accountable through ongoing monitoring of programs and projects for at least 10 years after they reach everyone in the area.
Join us as we form the Everyone movement for a better water world!
By joining Everyone below, you:
- Accept that water poverty is a global problem that will not be solved without you.
- Believe in the Everyone principles as the solution.
- Commit individually and/or organizationally to playing a role in Everyone.
What You Can Expect From Water For People
- Everyone will prove that water poverty is solvable. The movement will deliver evidence, showing that strategic and creative investments work.
- Everyone will show that successful water and sanitation development programs can generate energy and momentum to extend water and sanitation solutions to other areas, building a wavelike movement.
- Everyone will demonstrate that outside agencies will no longer be needed to support solutions. This transformation will free up resources for new areas of development, proving that through access to clean water and sanitation, poverty can be truly eradicated.
- Everyone will share successes and challenges, driving the philosophy that no single agency has the answers.
We can’t eradicate water poverty alone. Everyone will form a platform for a collective solution.

Everyone deserves clean water.
Everyone! I'm in!
I live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and I see how even in one of the most technologically developed regions in the world, our water supply is being compromised. The time to make safe water is accessible to all is now.
Here is to potable water for all
hopefully with more action will get there.
keep up the good work
I can't be happy so long as I seek people drink unsafe water and children travel more than 6 hours everyday to collect water.
Go for it!
Keep up the great wave of work...
“The broken water point is a constant reminder of my poverty."
Working to support communities in North Mali in their efforts to obtain a constant supply of clean potable water, and to heighten awareness in Ireland of how our behaviour and water useage is affecting water levels around the world.
Everyone deserves access to clean water and sanitation.
Clean water and adequate sanitation to all, yes!
We are primarily water. Whatever we do to water, we do to ourselves. Therefore it is better to protect water and make clean and fresh water available to every human being (and animals/plants etc.) on the planet. It must be our priority to reverse damages to the water body on our planet and to prevent any future pollution.
clean, accessible water for Everyone- YES!
I believe we can save the water together! Everyone have rights for a clean water! I'm happy I can be a part of all that!
I believe we can save the water together! Everyone have rights for a clean water! I'm happy I can be a part of all that!
Amman Imman: Water, www.ammanimman.org, works to ensure sustainable community-sponsored water access in the most vulnerable communities in the Azawak of Niger, West Africa. We will continue our pledge through The Everyone Commitment.
Keep it up!
I'm in - let my voice be heard!
Having access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation, for all of mankind, is a Right not a Privilege.
Making water and sanitation available for everyone will change the world. Building local capacity is how to get there.
Water will change the life of everyone on this planet. A well in every town for the use of all who live there!!!
A little work by a lot of people can lead to great things.
water is life
mankind is lifeless without water.
Water was the requirement for most important humankind, come on rescued... Save Water Now
Everyone deserves access to safe water!
Keep up the good work
What Water for People is doing is great. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope more organizations will follow your lead.
Clean, fresh, pure water for every child! This is a beautiful Christmas gift to honor our Creator.
Clean water is a right and necessity for all communities.
Clean safe water should be everyone’s right.
Water is Life!
Adequate sanitation and reliable clean drinking water are fundamental human rights. Let us bridge the gap to reduce infant mortality, increase quality of life, and make lives more secure and productive. Worldwide, 884 million people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion lack adequate sanitation facilities.
This is a great opportunity to create a transformation in ensuring accessibility to water and sanitation around the world. From Argentina, we are committed.
Clean water on tap is something we absolutely take for granted. Most of us in North America can't imagine not having water available whenever we want it. We have the power to make this the case for everyone.
It is time for those of us with the privilege of turning on a faucet and brushing our teeth every morning to take seriously the social responsibility of ensuring that all people have a sustainable means of doing the same.
Water is life and everyone has a right to life..........
This is a brilliant initiative that can indeed create a lasting transformation in ensuring accessibility to water and sanitation for 'Everyone', as the name suggests. Change cannot be effected by an individual but the strength in coming together is tremendous.
I've seen the devastation happening in Guatemala as a result of not having clean drinking water. As an MPH student here, I think it's sad that we waste so much money here on programs to fight obesity when the developing world is still lacking the fundamentals for good health. Go Water for People!
Clean, safe water is a basic human right, and working to secure access to it for all people is everyone's responsibility.
Water for Everyone!
Let's go Water for People!
lets not just talk,lets act and pray god will support us,by the grace of the lord everyone will get water.im in!
Until everyone on this thirsty planet has reliable and sustainable access to clean drinking water, then none of us can claim our own privilege to water.
Water for all!
Everyone means everyone! From Seattle, Washington to San Juan, Honduras, everyone has a role to play in ensuring safe drinking water is available to EVERYONE!
Basic. Need.
I like clean water.
Supporting clean water
Access to clean water is a basic human right on this abundant planet.
:)
I believe we can do this together, now let's do it!
Lack of potable Water has become a great problem for africans reading to high loss of human life. Can we work all together to rise up human lifespan through the provisional of quality water. I will you success and keep on being committed.
It is very interresting I am committed
We're all in this together!
The best combination of practicality and idealism. Cheers!
I'm planning a bake sale to support Water for People.
Happy to be a part of the movement!
if we as americans can have access to clean water whenever we want, why can't the rest of the world?
clean water should not be just a human right but a guaranteed right for each living creature in this world
Water for people rocks
Thumbs up! Water for people, I join you in this endeavour. I wish our policy makers in all countries can read this
In India,we have lot of safe water sources but its not properly maintained. Especially the RAIN water is not properly used.We should implement appropriate methods to use it.
me gustaria ser conocer de los trabajos y experiencias logrados en los diferentes paises en temas de agua y saneamiento.
me gustaria mucho ver el annual report 2010
People of Paschimbanga state of India has access to water but safe drinking water is still dream for 40% population of this most densely populated state. Death and disease from unsafe drinking water is frequent. We are ambitious with this everyone concept. We shall be happy if we get the scope to be part of this mission of this movement
It's so easy to take clean water access for granted, no doubt becuase it IS a basic human right. But there are still far too many going without. Even a seemingly small action like this brings us one step closer to everyone having the water they deserve!
Yes, Yes and Yes Clean/safe water for All!!
We are excited to support Water for People and the Everyone Commitment!
A wonderful and wise concept! I'm in.
want to do our part!
We are water and water is beyond us.
Raising awareness and prompting action. We can do this!
Let's get this done!
Water is a right not a commodity!
Water, after air, is essential for life. The more we raise awareness about the preciousness of this, the more we will work to conserve water and to provide new ways of moving water, purifying water for those who are without.
It's a Human right!!!
Clean Water for the People! RECLAIM the COMMONS!
It's great to support an organization that won't settle for less than 100%!
Greetings May the God who has placed that burden into you hearts blessed the works of your hands and the bible also tells me Jesus said if you drink of the living water you will never thirst forever.
I am the administrative support for our local water & engineering department and a member of NEWWA & MWWA. I am pleased to read what this organization has done and hopes to do in the past for future water.
This is beautiful, i feel good to be part of this
In, in, in!
Go big or go home! Everyone forever is the right thing for ALL of us to be working towards.
From Toronto...I'm in! What a great campaign.
This is such an important task, and I'm hoping to assist in making difference in helping to solve this crisis. Everone has the right to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation infrastructure.
I'm also a member of the Florida section of AWWA.
So excited to be part of this campagn. Iam In
I'm in!!
Acceso al agua y saneamiento es un problema para todos, en cualquier lugar y debe dejar de serlo: Para Siempre. Es un compromiso que debemos abordar e inspirar a otros para que se incluyan en este movimiento. Everyone Forever.
Every one will help ensure that every individual has access to safe water, whether they are at home, attending school or seeking medical help at a local clinic. So, its every one every where
Sorry for the typographical error. I wanted to mean a community where women do not travel 4000 meters to collect water.
I want to live in a community where women travel 4000 meters to collect water and no children miss classes because they have to firts fetch water before they go to school. I want live in a community where individual community members feel the need of improved sanitation facilities and always ready to responsibility to meet those needs. A community where water keeps on flowing in avery family, every school, every clinic. In other words, and to keep it simple, EVERYONE.
Thanks for helping the world, am sure together we can achieve that goal.
Let's make our goal clean water for all on the planet
The full benefit of access to clean water only comes when everyone is covered. Fight Poverty bey enabling access to safe water to EVERYONE.
Water is a vital need for survival. Please solve the problems that impede anyone's access to water.
water is a right,not a privilege
I heartily support the goals of this organization.
I'm happy to support this effort.
By the grace of God, may these people get the water they need!
yes!
Let's make this commitment actionable!
The video is amazing and really gets the message across.
Great video. Looking forward to contributing to the cause.
Water is life. It is tragic to see the apathy of governments in working with urgency towards ensuring this basic need of EVERYONE.
Water rights for all - not a corporate option.
For starters. The human body contains over 84% of water. All of your ancestors were 'walking water' and so are all of us. When you love somebody you should love the water in them as much as all water on this planet. Therefor we need to love and protect clean water as a basis for our own very existence.
I hope everyone gets on board - water is a necessity!!!
Clean potable water is a matter of life and death.
I am a water resources civil engineer. Water, of course, is essential for life and should be a available to all, like the air we breath. Those of us in rich countries, who use much more than others, should pay for their additional water use on a tiered basis. Please let me know else how I can help. Thanks to Everyone!
Bring solutions that improve the use of water resources in the best way to satisfy needs.
I can't imagine living without water. No one should have to do this.
I give thanks to Most Holy Great Spirit of Love and Goodness.
Every living being needs water.
Clean water is an essential for everyone.
It is crime to humanity I am ashamed for mister HARPER here in canada TAR SANDS ARE POLLUTING OUR WORLD KNOWING THAT SO MANY DO NOT HAVE CLEAN WATER TO DRINK.
cleat water for people
It is an honor to be a member of this village of water bringers. i live on a sparkling spring fed creek that runs year-round - it grieves me to think others' are restricted from taking water in their own back yard.
Keep the global water clean and safe for all people
Give people water please.
Give people water
Important and far from having the service are the water quality information as per your location (of consumption).
Corporate control should not include a basic necessity such as water. Corporations have proven to be greed-driven and abusive.
much luck
Every person around the world deserves access to clean water.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful commitment.
this should be a right for everyone
Clean water is absolutely necessary for humans, animals, plants -- all living things! Forget oil and natural gas. Protect our clean water supply!
Water is something we take for granted and waste in America daily. Please help people in other countries have access to something we throw away on a daily basis
Please give these people the rights they deserve! Help to make their world better.
Please stop privatization and give everyone this right for life
That potable water has become a humans rights issue is a travesty--let's get this done!
Thank you for all you do to help these people get water, the single most important necessity in their lives for they or anyone cannot ever live without water.
It is absolutely insane that people should have to organize and fight to get drinkable water! Local persons live on the land, work on the land and should own the water on that land!
We can not exist without clean water. All living beings deserve access to the earth's bare necessities for survival. Please respect and maintain it's resources.
As Ghandi said, be the change you wish to see in the world, and practice personal water conservation in all you do.
The most important work on the planet: rights to clean water and clean air for all!
Water must be protected for all live on this small planet and not allow for government and corporate controls that will diminish the quality of live here on this planet.
if there is one thing that needs to be shared among all people it is water!
Water is the most important element in our earth. We must do all we can to provide clean water for every living being.
We need to insure the future for our children and grandchildren as well as to ourselves. Losing sources of clean water is unacceptable.
Water is essential to life. It's a must! We're only human beings, when we show humanity toward each other and for all life.
Every human being and all living things should have access to clean water. We were given clean water in the beginning. It is our job to keep it that way..or return it to that condition.
Everyone should have access to clean water... hopefully this includes people and animals.
Water is life.
Water is for everyone!
Everone should have clean safe water.
We need water to live and survive.
Water is life; we must protect and make sure all living things have access.
water for Life!!!
Water equals Life! Everyone's Life!
EVERYONE - WE ARE IN
as Civil Engineer working since 30 years in Rural and Sanitation sector in rural/ mountain hills communities of remote backward parts of Nepal, I am very interested to keep in touch with water and sanitation affiliated organizations in the world. And, also would like to raise funds for water supply and house hold toilet/ school in rural communities of Nepal
water equals life, It is my prayer to see water for all people "Everyone"!
I'm in.
Clean water should be a right, not just a wish!
I am committed.
Thrilled to join the Everyone Commitment!
Thank you to Water for People!
Thanks to everyone for taking the initiative to address inequality.
Everyone deserves clean water.
Everyone...simple, yet profound, and an essential step in the right direction. Kudos to Water For People for making this bold move!
for a better world!
Subsided cost to support NGOs to Identify sustainable solutions for rural water supply water scarcity areas in India
clean water must be a right,not a privilege.

This is an important issue. The sooner we make real progress on this, the better for everyone.
Water for EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE!
Thank you WFP for the important work you do. I want to help your efforts more!
New approaches are needed to solve the global water and sanitation challenges. Everyone helps us get there...
Here in the US, we don't often consider the change that could not occur if we had to work hours each day for basic water and sanitation.
It is everyone's right to have reasonable access to clean water
H2O for all, H2O for life!

clean water is a necessity
Clean good water is needed to live. I think it is the right for every living thing to have the water they need to live.
this topic, clean water for everyone now, is an important message to send out to all who will listen and are willing to help make a change. Change starts with the smallest of efforts.
Water is the most important resource we have.
I am committed.
Water is so basic, so important -- and should be a civil right.
Great work. Hope to see it grow.
Even as our local water supply here in Charlotte is threatened with PCB's and mercury, it becomes important worldwide to create foundations for protecting the earth's water supply.
Clean water is usually taken for granted by those who have access to it. Like so many environmental issues, however, water poverty is not something that is only someone else's problem; it truly is everyone's.
We need clean, safe, water for all peoples on Earth.
We all are rockin'n rollin on this mission - together we CAN eradicate water poverty! GO WFP!!! I'm IN!!!
I believe wholemindedly that Water For People is changing the way we change the world. I hope that the innovations of Water For People, including the Everyone movement, become a model for sustainable NGO work in all arena's accross the globe.
So simple, and profound.
Water professionals know 'everyone' will succeed. We are water stewards for our clients, bosses, and customers at home. It is our responsibility as humans to help others with water needs, and with the generousity of individuals/groups and the commitment from in-need local communities, we will succeed. Thanks Everyone!
It is very difficult to enjoy living in America where clean water flows freely from the faucets of every building - when right now millions of people do not have access (even after trudging many miles and carrying heavy containers by hand) to clean, illness free water. Then, knowing it may be contaminated, have to give it to their children - sometimes causing death. No one should have to suffer like this. It is time for a real solution.
Sure I'm in!
My local chapter of Water for People isn't very active. How can i best contribute my time and energy to this cause?
It is a universal imperative that all peoples of the world have access to clean safe water
Excellent philosophy. WFP can provide the technical knowledge and support to help kick-start the local people to solve their own water & sanitation problems. Most people will work to improve their lives if they know what to do and receive some encouragement.
Clean water is a right, but also a responsibility.
As a member of Rotary International, I am committed to water projects. Once Polio is eradicated, I'm confident Rotary will turn its full attention to water issues. Rotary already does many water projects all over the world.
water = life
"Identifying and maintaining new, sustainable solutions" should include awareness and dedication to the rights to be practicaly informed about the impacts on your health and life safe from water, air, soil, food, ... from all spheres quality - but in real-time & on-line & as per user location.
Water is a necessity for life. It should be there for all. No corporation or person should be allowed to keep it from anyone on this planet!
Reliable clean drinking water is a basic human right every community should demand for all its people, if not through government, then in the collective.
Nothing is more important to the human race than water and sunlight. Ensuring clean water for all is a vital goal.
Without water, we would be dead. Help the people out!
We're all in this game of LIFE together.
Water is a basic need for life, it should never be privatized, wasted, or allowed to be polluted. It is for Everyone.
Everyone in the world deserves the right to fresh drinking water.
We all need water, and we all can't survive without it...guess we should all learn to get along together, in order to share this precious resource!
It is horrifying to note that there are about 884 million people in the world without access to safe drinking water which is the basic right of a human being.It is a major health hazard that 2.6 billion people have no toilets. I am very much interested to dedicate my time and effort for finding solutions to these problems.
I have signed up for a lot of groups like yours, animal rescue groups, environmental groups, veterans groups, even groups to fix the Catholic Church. I can't do a lot for any of you. In particular, I have no money to donate. If you need people to sign petitions, I can do that, or contact my congressperson (Joe Donnelly, D-IN). I've lived overseas where water was a problem--Thai refugee camps, the Philippines, Turkey--so I'm concerned. If you can use me somehow, please ask. Meanwhile I'd like to follow what you're doing.
This is so vital and as the years go on we can all be effected. One step at a time as so much needs to be done. Each step makes a stride .Each stride will make a mile and each mile will save a life.
Among those with shortage of water worldwide are pastoralists with their livestock, something must be done to address this.
I think the Everyone initiative is a great idea.
Water is so essential for life! Stop the insane pollution and despoiling of this precious resource!
had no water for 24 ours recently when the well pump broke. I thought of all who have no water ever without huge effort, and then it may not be clean. I hope to help change that.
Water for all
hi
I want to help make this happen.
When two or more agree on anything, it will come to pass. I join you.
Hopefully everyone understands that not only water is an issue but also pollution and contamination, over population, wars, etc, and that life cannot go forward with the expectation that everyone in the world can have all the technology and electrical devices that are enjoyed by First World peoples and also that First World peoples must accept a reduced "quantity"of life if others in the world are to get their fair share!!! And much more needs to be said.
We are all in this together!
If not now, when? Everyone needs clean water.
Everyone Counts!
I'm IN!
Everyone deserves access to clean water!
Convincing EVERYONE I know to join in via twitter and Facebook.
