Skip the generic donation. Pick something specific you want to make happen — a filter for a refugee family, a treatment system for a village, a year of school for a future partner leader. Every dollar lands in the field.
Each option is a real unit of work with a real cost, priced by our PhD-led project teams.
Ultrafiltration-treated drinking water at a rural Cambodian school, installed and maintained by our local partners.
Each $700 school system serves hundreds of students for 5+ years. Your $20 covers three of those children for the full life of the system — treated, tested, safe water every school day.
A simple, portable gravity filter delivered with training through our DR Congo partner PALPER — clean water in an active cholera-risk zone.
No power, no plumbing, no consumables — gravity does the work. The filter itself costs $50; your $80 covers everything — the buckets, the parts, the shipping, and PALPER’s costs to build it and bring it to the community. PALPER trains each family on use and upkeep so it keeps protecting them for years.
Your $500 pays a year of tuition — and Clean Water Help matches and doubles it with school supplies and a cost-of-living stipend so your student can excel. You choose the student and follow their progress.
On top of your tuition gift, CWH adds school supplies (~$100/yr) and a living stipend (~$900/yr). You select your student from partner nominations and receive updates on their progress through the school year. On request, we’ll coordinate a virtual introduction — video chat where connectivity allows (DR Congo wifi can be temperamental, so it may be email or WhatsApp).
Pick the amount and the project. Sponsor a full project as an individual or company — or ask for our current project list and direct a gift to exactly one of them.
We’ll send you the active project list with costs and expected outcomes — you decide where your money goes. Full-project sponsors (individual or CSR) get named recognition, technical reporting, and documented outcomes on the ground.
Our founders personally cover every administrative cost — legally mandated by our bylaws. We don’t want donations going to our organization or overhead. We are committed to paying that cost ourselves — and able to. These communities need it more than we do.
If you want to fund the work, your dollar funds the work. Not our salaries, not our offices, not our marketing.
