Air, water, food, shelter, income: nature sustains every aspect of our lives. That's why protecting and conserving nature isn't just a matter of common sense. It's the smartest investment we can make. Since our founding in 1951, The Nature Conservancy has harnessed the power of nature to help solve our planet’s most challenging problems. And while the stakes are high, so is our resolve: to create a world where everyone thrives alongside nature for generations to come. We do this by working hand in hand with communities around the world. By committing to a science-based, non-partisan approach that’s stood the test of time. And by bringing people together, from all walks of life, to find common ground in nature.

WaterAid is an international non-profit with one goal: to change the world through water. Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity. Childbirth is safer, children get the chance to grow up healthy and strong. Families thrive and whole communities are better prepared for our changing climate and whatever the future holds. We started out in 1981, when UK water companies created a single organisation dedicated to tackling the global water crisis. Today we work alongside communities worldwide setting up entire systems that deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for millions. And we get the people, policies and money in place to keep these systems working – and the water flowing for good. So that people have safe, reliable services that last. Our work with communities, partners, allies and supporters has already meant millions of people can shape their own future with dignity and confidence. To drive lasting change on a global scale and faster than ever, we get others to step up and play their part: - Partnering with communities to build systems that work for them. - Connecting policy makers, experts, local partners and communities. - Innovating, learning, modelling solutions and sharing good practice. - Changing attitudes and behaviours. - Rallying support from people and organisations around the world. - Working with decision makers to scale up investment and accelerate progress. Together with our partners and supporters, we are working with determination towards the day when we are no longer needed.

We believe there's a smart way to end the global water crisis. Millions of people around the world could get access to safe water or improved sanitation in their homes with the help of small, affordable loans. That's why we created smart, financial solutions to address the water crisis. Water.org created a way for families in need to get lasting access to safe water and sanitation through affordable financing, something we call WaterCredit. With your support, we can help empower people around the world with hope, health, and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. Join us at Water.org
