The Water Project Information

The Water Project, Inc., a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit, strives to alleviate the water crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, where water stress is notably higher than in many other regions. Approximately 1 in 3 Africans face water scarcity, and nearly 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to basic drinking water. This reflects a profound challenge, as the region grapples with overburdened water systems, rapid urbanization, and the impacts of climate change. Since our inception in 2007, The Water Project has been committed to building safe and reliable water sources, backed by our Water Promise initiative. This involves consistent monitoring and maintenance, ensuring the sustainability of each project. Our aim is to forge a deep connection between donors and the communities they support, providing detailed insights through stories, maps, and photos, thus making each donation a life-changing act for both parties. We invite you to learn more about our methods, results, and future vision at TheWaterProject.org, where we continue to address these critical challenges and work towards a future where everyone can access safe and clean water.
