Mission Statement
The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing sustainable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation. For over seven years, we have been helping communities gain access to clean, safe water by providing training, expertise and financial support for water project construction through our staff and implementing partners. We grow and learn by... Going and Doing - We don't just write checks. We are deeply involved in the hard work of providing water. Taking Risks - We invest in new and growing partners whose contributions are crucial to solving the water crisis. Making Mistakes - Risks and mistakes go hand in hand. It happens. We learn. We share our experience so others won't repeat them. Always Listening - There is much to glean from our neighbors. We drink it all in.
About This Cause
Access to safe clean water is at the foundation of the development of any community. Yet nearly a billion, 884 million, people do not have access to clean and safe water. We want to change that, because we know that clean water restores hope and unlocks potential. In sub-Saharan Africa, we help communities dig wells, construct small sub-surface dams, catch the rain, protect fresh-water springs, filter surface water, and maintain proper sanitation and hygiene practices. Your support enables robust community mobilization, careful project construction and rigorous long-term follow up and evaluation. Our efforts at home amplify the voices of the poor and the nearly one billion people worldwide who don't have access to clean, safe water - a basic human right. As we work to provide water, we're committed to helping people meet their global neighbors and to realize that we all share the same basic needs. We hope to break down stereotypes and the false distinctions between the so-called winners and losers, rich and poor, the needy and charitable, by introducing you to the people we serve with the respect and admiration they rightfully deserve. We are not heroes. Together with our supporters, we're just trying to be good neighbors by lending a hand to people we know can change the world.
