Our Mission

Building bridges to clean water

771 million people lack access to clean water. That's 1 in 10 people on our planet who walk miles each day just to collect water that makes them sick.

WaterBridge Initiative partners with rural communities to build sustainable wells that provide clean, safe drinking water for generations. We don't just drill wells—we empower communities with the knowledge and tools to maintain them.

Every dollar you donate goes directly to building infrastructure, training local maintenance teams, and creating lasting change.

100% Transparency Guarantee

Every donation is tracked. You'll receive photos and GPS coordinates of the well your contribution helped build.

"Before the well, I walked 6 kilometers every day to fetch water. Now I go to school and dream of becoming a teacher."

12-year-old Amara used to spend 4 hours each day collecting water for her family. Since WaterBridge built a well in her village, she's been able to attend school full-time and is now at the top of her class.
