About charity: water
Since charity: water was founded in 2006, we've been chasing one ambitious goal: ending the global water crisis. Since then, we've funded 138,003 water projects, serving over 17 million people.
From the beginning, we've made a few promises:
We give 100%
100% of the money donated to charity: water goes directly to funding clean water projects. Private donors cover our operating costs, which means every penny of every dollar can go where it's needed most.
We prove it
We don't expect you to take our word for it. Our next-level commitment to tracking and transparency means we don't just tell you you're having an impact. We show you, with GPS coordinates and photos of the exact project(s) you've helped fund.
We think local — and long‑term
We don't just drop in, build a well and disappear. When we provide water for a community, we want the impact to be for good — which means we work closely with local partners, remaining invested in the integrity of projects for the long haul.

Your continued drive for social justice/rights to basic life necessities encourages me to boldly pursue causes bigger myself. Through your blog posts, our time at GU: CLP, JIJ, K&S, East LA, shared Zambia experiences, and simply having the privilege to call you friend, has influenced the person I am in more ways than you know. When I doubt our generation and feel discouraged by the ever growing individualism in (western) society, it takes me a second to avert my attention social change agents like you. (tangent: Isn't that crazy?! From talking about social change to now being a part of it? You are a social change agent--YOU ARE SOCIAL CHANGE)
Thanks for inspiring the rest of us to not only be people who talk about issues but lets-*expletive*-do-something-about-it social change agents.
With agape, friend.
