Clean water is essential for the survival and well-being of Indigenous children in the Amazon, and your donation can bring about a profound impact on their lives.

MISSION AND VISION

Inspiring women who have access to clean water to get it to those who do not.

We envision a world where everyone can access clean, safe drinking water, recognized as a fundamental right.

WHAT WE DO

We strategically align ourselves with partners, in-country organizations, and community leaders to achieve our mission and vision to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable clean water solutions. We work around the world in places where people lack access to clean water. Since 2016, we have helped fund clean water initiatives in 34 countries, impacting hundreds of thousands of lives.

WHY WE DO IT

We are inspired by the perseverance and bravery of women and girls who spend hours every day searching for water, often putting themselves in harm’s way to bring this precious resource home to their families. We are inspired by the struggles of millions of displaced people forced to flee their homes due to a lack of access to clean water. We are inspired by the thousands of supporters who have been generous with their time and money to help The Waterbearers achieve its mission.

WOMEN

Carrying water has been the responsibility placed on women and children, especially girls, in every society throughout history. We support women to take ownership of their divinity and re-awaken their true strengths and intuitive nature. When women are empowered, they become an essential ally in protecting water, the environment, and their families.

WATER

Water is life. But, for 1.6 billion people who do not have access to safe drinking water – water can mean sickness and death. We work in places where people lack access to clean water, collaborating with communities to provide sustainable solutions. When we respect and fall in love with water, we stop taking it for granted. When we savor water in our bodies and on earth, we change our relationship with it and each other.

WISDOM

For thousands of years, wisdom keepers from Indigenous cultures and spiritual traditions have foretold a time when the planet will experience a re-awakening of consciousness. We must embody compassionate leadership that inspires unity with loving generosity, appreciation, and respect for the earth.

WATER PROJECTS

We work in remote places where people lack access to clean water, collaborating with communities to provide sustainable solutions. Our campaigns have funded clean water initiatives in 34 countries through strategic partnerships worldwide that have impacted hundreds of thousands of lives.

CLEAN WATER SOLUTION

We use the most advanced hollow fiber membrane filters that are small, portable, easy-to-use, reliable, inexpensive, and can last a decade without being replaced. The Sawyer PointOne filters are certified for ABSOLUTE microns, making it impossible for harmful bacteria, protozoa, or cysts like E. coli, Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, and Salmonella typhi, which causes Cholera and Typhoid, to pass through. Removal rate 99.99999%

Each individual filter can provide clean water to 100 people a day and produce up to one million gallons. That is clean water for 10 years if the filter is properly maintained.
