We couldn't do the work we do without you. That's why, when you support us, we make this promise to you:

  1. We use your donations in the best way possible. For every $1 you give, 80 cents are reinvested in transforming lives with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene, 12 cents are reinvested in fundraising and 8 cents on administration.
  2. You can choose how often we contact you. Just call our Supporter Care team at (212) 683-0430 to let us know what you prefer.
  3. We use your support to help deliver lasting solutions, not short-term fixes.
  4. We share stories about the people you equip.
  5. Together, we won’t stop until clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene are a regular part of everyday life for everyone, everywhere.

We’re committed to the highest standards in fundraising practice. We're accredited by the Better Business Bureau and have been identified by Philanthropedia and Charity Navigator as the leading charity for clean, safe water and sanitation in Africa, Asia, and Central America. We also have a Platinum-level Seal of Transparency from Guidestar.
