ABOUT US

In 2016, The Waterbearers launched its first fundraising campaign to Get One Million People Access to Clean Water by World Water Day, March 22. Inspiring 100 women to accept their 30-day challenge resulted in 320,000 people getting access to clean water. That impact had almost doubled by the second year, with all proceeds going directly to former partner Waves For Water. By September 2017, The Waterbearers began to operate as a US-registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Through strategic partnerships, in-country organizations, and local community leaders, The Waterbearers campaigns, through donor support, have helped fund clean water initiatives in 34 countries. They have traveled to some of the most remote places on Earth, bringing clean water solutions to those in need.

MISSION:  To inspire women who have access to clean water to get it to those who do not.
