Having clean drinking water is a basic necessity that many of us take for granted, but 2.2 billion people lack access to clean water.¹ That’s nearly 1 in 3 people in the world.

Safe water doesn’t just mean people gain hours back for themselves and their families. It means people live longer, healthier lives. Parents are more likely to see their children grow up. The economy expands. Political unrest decreases. Families can keep their kids in school. There’s more time for work, rest, and play.

That’s why we’re doing everything we can to build a global movement to bring water to Everyone Forever. Water For People empowers local communities to create lasting change. We ensure communities have water that lasts for generations by working at the district level, because district governments are responsible for providing and managing water services.
