You Can Give Clean Water To The World!

Turning on your tap and instantly having clean, fresh water is something we all take for granted every day.

So talking about a water shortage or walking miles and miles to get dirty water is almost unfathomable.

In fact, every 20 seconds, a child dies from lack of clean water. This is a shockingly upsetting statistic indeed but fortunately there are some simple ways you can help bring clean water to all who need it.

Support Clean Water Projects

charity: water

“We invest the money we raise into organizations with years of experience to build sustainable, community-owned water projects around the world. Our team works closely to ensure that every dollar is accounted for and then provides reports back to our donors. Learn about our approach, the solutions we fund and our partners on the ground.”

The Water Project

“The Water Project brings relief to communities around the world who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation. Providing access to clean, safe water helps capable and determined people realize the hope they have for their own futures.”

MIYA

“Miya was established by Shari Arison in 2008 as part of Arison Investments, with the vision of ensuring an abundance of fresh water through efficient management of our cities’ existing fresh water resources. More than a third of the world’s drinking water is lost from urban supply systems, mainly due to undetected underground leaks and mismanagement. The most sustainable and cost-effective way to alleviate such losses is to improve the efficiency of urban water distribution systems by effective water loss management.”

Lifestraw Water Purifier

“LifeStraw® water filters convert contaminated water into clean, safe drinking water. The easy-to-use filters are a vital tool for some of the 780 million people who don’t have ready access to safe drinking water. This leaves them at risk for diarrheal disease, which kills more than 1.5 million people every year.”

Cycloclean

“Pedaling your way to clean water? You can do just that thanks to Japan’s Nippon Basic Company who have introduced “Cycloclean,” a durable bike equipped with a kinetic water purifier. Initially designed for disaster zones and remote villages, users can bike to virtually anywhere there is a water source, be it rivers, ponds, pools and even wells, and source their own clean water.”

SolarBall

“Safe and accessible drinking water is one of the rarest resources on the planet. 1-in-8 people in our world don’t have access to potable water, causing nearly 80% of sickness and disease in developing regions. The Solarball is a response to this crisis. The Solarball provides up to 3 litres of drinkable water per day – enough drinking water for one adult. Using evaporation as a means of purification, the Solarball provides a smart, functional and efficient design solution to a worldwide problem.”
