The Water Project unlocks human potential by providing reliable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation. For ten years, we have been helping communities gain access to clean, safe water by providing training, expertise and financial support for water project construction through our staff and implementing partners. We are committed to bringing people together to solve the problem of finding clean water. We invest in local teams who provide clean water and unlock potential in the villages where people live.
