Mission
Water.org envisions the day when everyone in the world can take a safe drink of water. Our mission: inspire people to act; develop high quality, sustainable water projects; and enable donors to invest wisely. We exist to create a global awareness of the water supply crisis and to help people respond. We carefully invest donors' funds in only the highest quality projects through locally based water development organizations.
Programs
Water.org's primary activity is facilitating drinking water supply and sanitation projects in communities in developing countries. We use extensive evaluation programs to select and monitor both our partner organizations and water projects. We mentor our partners and help them keep abreast of current issues related to international water supply and sanitation. We also consult to other organizations by evaluating and selecting partner organizations.
