Clean Water
That reaches everyone
and lasts forever.
Water For People is a global nonprofit working across Latin America, Asia, and Africa to address the global water crisis. We're equipping communities with lasting access to clean water and dignified bathrooms – for Everyone Forever.
The Crisis
1 in 4 people lack access to clean water. Nearly half of the world doesn't have a decent toilet.
Water For People
We build lasting solutions to end the global water and sanitation crisis.
Where You Come In
Join us – you can change a life forever.
Water is a Human Right
We believe in a world where everyone has safe drinking water, forever.
We partner with local governments, businesses, and individuals, providing the support they need to bring clean water and sanitation systems to their own communities. Then we ensure they have the resources they need to maintain those systems now and in the future. The local government provides the structure. The local shop owner provides the materials. The local entrepreneur makes repairs.
And the local family gets clean water for a lifetime.
Local Spotlight Chikhaldara, India
The hillsides in Chikhaldara are home to numerous rural tribal communities. Water availability is volatile here as droughts become more common and families grapple with the impacts of climate change.
Water For People began partnering with local communities and government partners in 2019, ensuring historically vulnerable and excluded populations, including low caste and tribal communities, have ongoing access to safe, reliable water and sanitation services.
Explore Our Impact
What is Everyone Forever?
At Water For People, we believe that even one person without clean water and a toilet is unacceptable. That belief drives us every single day. It’s at the heart of our Everyone Forever approach: reaching every family, health clinic, and school with lasting water and sanitation access.
Everyone means no one is left behind. Forever means lasting, long-term solutions that keep water flowing for generations. And with climate change intensifying, resilience must be embedded into everything we do.
