Millions of people around the world could get access to safe water in their homes with the help of small, affordable loans.

That’s where Water.org comes in. We are here to bring safe water and sanitation to the world through access to small, affordable loans. There is both a need and demand for these loans, because when people have access to safe water, they get time back to go to school, earn an income and take care of their family. It changes their world.

For more than 25 years, with your help, we’ve been providing families with hope, health and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.
