Today 771 million people — 1 in 10 — lack access to safe water at home. And 1.7 billion — 1 in 4 people — don't have access to a toilet. The water crisis negatively impacts the health and livelihood of more than one-third of our global population. Water.org exists to change this.

For millions of women, children, and communities, access to safe water can turn problems into potential — unlocking education, economic opportunity and improved health. The WaterCredit Initiative® makes loans for water and sanitation more accessible to families living in developing countries around the world.

“Some of the poorest people in the world, if you just give them a chance, they will solve their own problems.” - Matt Damon
