A quarter of the world's population is without safe drinking water.

Water For Life's mission is to help communities in need develop safe and sustainable water sources.

By combining formal instruction with hands-on training we teach people how to construct and maintain their own local water resources. Our focus is not simply to provide safe drinking to those in need-our goal is to help people gain the knowledge and experience they need to help themselves and their communities.

Water for Life uses a combination of appropriate water technologies, water health education and basic research so that communities can identify and solve their water problems. Our mission is not to simply provide safe water to those in need, but to train individuals and communities to create and maintain their own local water resources. We do so by a highly interactive process combining formal instruction with hands-on training.
