Mercy walks for water in Kenya.
Mercy and her mom live in Kenya. Mercy wants to go to college one day so she can help improve her family's income. She walks hours a day to collect water. Mercy has some ideas on how to solve this problem. We are here to help empower her family to Bring Water HomeTM.
There are 2.1 billion people who, like Mercy and her mom, need access to safe water. People living and dying for water while trying to raise families, make a living, and build communities. They are people with financial power, rights, and the capabilities to define their own futures. They know the specific needs of their families and what will work; we have resources to help make it happen.
We believe in putting the power directly into the hands of the people who need it
Water.org's solutions break down the barriers between people in need and access to safe water and sanitation. When you put the power into the hands of the people in need, the solution is more likely to succeed and last because they get to select what is best for their families. Meet the people you impact.
Our solutions are sustainable and lasting
Water.org partners with financial institutions in 15 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to help them offer affordable loans for safe water and sanitation solutions. People in need use these loans for taps, toilets, storage tanks, and piped connections to their homes. Learn how Water.org works.
