Mission Statement
We innovate sustainable, women-led, local solutions to basic water problems.
About This Cause
Water is Basic was founded in 2006 after religious leaders from across Sudan came together with one goal, to help their people during the six-year Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The #1 goal of the gathering was to provide clean water as quickly as possible to as many people as possible. We finished our first well in 2008 and, between 2008 and 2021, installed over 500 and restored over 600 more. Water is Basic was formed as a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization in 2010 to support these efforts. WE BELIEVE THE WATER CRISIS IS BEST SOLVED BY THOSE MOST IMPACTED BY IT - WOMEN. We innovate sustainable, women-led, local solutions to basic water problems. Women, now leading our work, are repairing more than 500 wells per year in South Sudan with a goal of 1,000 annually. In DRC, they are engineering and building rain catchment systems, providing clean water to the most vulnerable communities.
