Maybe you belong to a family whose belly laughs go back seven generations. Or maybe you feel most at home with the friends who’ve become your family. No matter how you define them, families are special. And each one deserves the same chance to thrive.
That chance doesn’t exist for those living without clean water—a staggering 785 million people. The daily struggle for water is a constant limiting factor, stealing time, health, and opportunities. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
With your help this festive season, we want to give 5,000 families a gift that changes everything: access to clean and safe water.
It takes about $240 to bring clean water to one family*. But no matter how much you’re able to give, 100% of your donation will fund clean water, thanks to the private donors who cover our operating costs.
There’s more to come over the next few weeks as we work toward this goal together—but TODAY is launch day! And we couldn’t be more excited. Head over to charitywater.org to experience the campaign for yourself and see how clean water has completely transformed life for families in northern Uganda.
Thank you, as always, for being part of our family. We are so grateful to have you in this community.
– your friends at charity: water
*Why $240? According to our monitoring and evaluation framework (MAP) surveys conducted between 2016 - 2021 across charity: water country programs, the average family size is 5.9 people. We multiplied that number by $40, the average cost of bringing clean water to one person.
