Our teams spend months establishing community buy-in, promoting safe hygiene practices and building water committee capacity to manage projects. The entire process takes about 21 months. Local government plays a major part in keeping water flowing.
This strengthens local ownership and can help build local capacity to maintain projects for years to come. Each of our projects has a plan in place so that local stakeholders can make sure that water flows long after installation. We invest in forming strong water committees, partnering with local government, and training mechanics to perform repairs. Our Programs team ensures that all of our projects are carefully monitored during and after implementation. We frequently check up on our work in the field and we bring in external evaluators to independently assess projects.
In the end, we map every completed project on our website using Google Maps so supporters can see exactly where we work, the types of projects we fund in each area and the number of people being helped.

Our Approach We work with local partners to fund water, sanitation, and hygiene WASH programs for rural communities around the world. Learn More. Planning Our local partners select water point locations based on a variety of factors like geography, assessment of need, community participation, and long-term sustainability.
Implementation In addition to the construction process, local partners spend months establishing community buy-in, promoting safe hygiene practices, and building water committee capacity to manage projects. Post-Implementation To ensure that water continues to flow for years to come, we empower local leaders, use strong operations and maintenance structures, collect data on specific WASH indicators, and implement innovative sensor technology. Hand-dug Wells Skilled laborers dig up to 15 meters by hand to reach aquifers below.
Drilled Wells A drilling team drills deep into the earth to reach fresh aquifers. Rainwater Catchments Gutters on rooftops direct the flow of rainfall into a sanitary holding tank. Gravity Fed Systems The force of gravity feeds water into a community from an elevated source.
In November , charity: water started deploying cutting-edge sensors and cloud computing technology to equip local leaders with real-time data. About us Quit your day job and come change the world.
