Help us fight for clean water. Give today.
About 1 in 4 people worldwide, 2.1 billion people, still lack safe drinking water, and 106 million drink straight from untreated rivers, lakes, and streams. Many are women and children who walk long distances to gather contaminated water for their families. A clean water source improves childhood health, education, and work opportunities for years to come.

Pictures, GPS, and a personal video

Pictures and community details

We don't create personalized videos for Uganda wells unless a team from the U.S. is able to visit the well. Our partners on the ground gather the information we send to donors.
For every water project, we partner with local community leaders to make sure the well is maintained and that every village resident has equal access.
