Our Mission
To provide practical clean water solutions for communities in need
The Challenge is Overwhelming
The clean water crisis is crippling the developing world.
-
A Preventable Plague: Lacking clean water, nearly one-third of the population is exposed to waterborne diseases, the region's leading killer.
-
Stealing Futures: Children suffer most, missing school due to illness. Annually, over 100 million days of school and work are lost to water-induced illness..
-
An Economic Anchor: This crisis slashes potential economic growth by more than 30%.
Communities in need are trapped in a viscous cycle of poverty largely due to preventable waterborne diseases.
But the Solution is Simple
Remarkably, the solutions to these problems are NOT new or complex.
-
For over a century, we've had cost-effective methods to treat water.
-
Clean drinking water costs about $5 per year per person with practical, widely available technology.
Therefore, the cost to save a life is ALMOST insignificant
The primary barrier isn't a lack of technology or resources; it's connecting the communities in need with the right expertise, a little bit of guidance, and some modest funding.
And that's the gap we exist to fill.

About Clean Water Help
Our Vision, Mision, and What Makes Us Different
Our Vision
A world where water is clean, safe, accessible, and affordable for EVERYONE.
Our Mission
To connect communities in need of clean water with reliable solutions.
What Makes Us Different
At Clean Water Help, our approach is built on a unique model that maximizes impact and ensures every bit of support goes directly to those who need it most. Here’s how we stand out.
100% Volunteer Driven
Our organization is run entirely by dedicated professionals who volunteer their time and expertise. This means zero overhead for salaries, so 100% of our effort and your support is dedicated to our mission.
Direct Access to Leading Experts
We bridge the gap between complex water problems and world-class technical knowledge. Our core team consists of PhDs and Professional Engineers (PEs) who provide quick, thorough, and free assessments of each community's needs.
Prioritizing Practical, Cost-Effective Solutions
We use a systems-thinking approach to find the root of the problem. This allows our experts to identify the most practical and cost-effective solutions that are built to last for generations. We then act as resource allocators, connecting communities to funding sources to bring these plans to life.
Focus on Empowering Local Communities
We believe in building local capacity. Whenever possible, we ensure that projects are carried out by local companies and workers. This approach invests in the local economy, creates jobs, and empowers the community to maintain its own water resources for years to come.
Our Guiding Principles
Our work is guided by a core set of principles that ensure every project we undertake is impactful, sustainable, and responsible. These values are the foundation of our commitment to communities in need.
-
Human Health First: We prioritize projects that have a direct and measurable impact on human health, from providing safe drinking water to cleaning rivers that sustain communities.
-
Prioritize Collaborations: Complex challenges require complex teams. We actively build partnerships between communities, universities, governments, and other non-profits to drive projects forward.
-
Financial Stewardship: We are dedicated to maximizing the return on investment for every donation and grant, ensuring that all funding creates the greatest possible benefit.
Together, we can make a difference.
