When clean water starts to flow through a community, it never arrives empty-handed. It brings more time, better health, and bigger opportunities, transforming entire communities in the process. We are thankful to this year's Lemonade Giveback for providing clean, safe drinking water to 15,000 people in Malawi. 💛

We bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries
About us
charity: water is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. Since 2006, we've funded more than 154,000 water projects in 29 developing countries. When complete, these projects will provide clean, safe drinking water for more than 18.6 million people. 703 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water, that's one in ten of us. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. The good news: there are simple solutions, from deep drilled wells to water filtration systems. With the help of 1 million+ donors and individual fundraisers, we've raised over $796M for both water and operations, forming a strong force against the water crisis. Join us!

Transparency has always been important to us — and we know it’s important to you, too. That’s why, from the very beginning, we’ve used 100% of every donation to fund clean water and have worked hard to receive the highest grades available for financial accountability. You might have seen our Transparency Tuesday posts on Instagram Stories over the past few months — and might have even had one of your own questions answered. Now, we’re excited to start bringing this content directly to your feed. Today’s question is a big one: Why don’t governments solve this problem? Watch the video to hear our team’s take. Have a question you’d like to see answered? Keep an eye on our Instagram Stories — we’ll be taking questions there for future posts in a few weeks! #Transparency #Accountability #Nonprofitsector

When a community gets access to clean water, everything changes. Just ask the families who call Peter Village home. Within two years, they transformed their community in Zimbabwe with latrines, handwashing stations, gleaming kitchens, dish racks, and a vibrant health club. It all started with clean water. And clean water starts with you. Thank you 💛

Over the past week, we’ve celebrated the real impact of real supporters in a series called “Dear Anonymous.” In the spirit of selfless generosity, an anonymous donor pledged to match up to $25,000 in donations — and you responded, meeting the match in less than 48 hours! We are in awe of your passion and commitment — but we aren’t surprised. This community’s generosity is second to none 💛 No matter who you are, how much you give, or how you give, you’re making an incredible difference. Thank you for giving clean water.

Imagine spending four hours each day collecting water. The journey to the water source is the easy part — even if it’s scorching hot and treacherous. The way back is when things get really hard, because now you have a 40-pound jerry can to carry, in addition to the sleeping baby strapped to your body. With every step, the physical load feels heavier. Not to mention the mental and emotional weight of a life without water — but that’s a load you never get to put down. In many places, the burden of water collection falls primarily on women and girls who lose precious time that could be spent studying, resting, or earning an income.
