4.2 BILLION PEOPLE LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER
4.2 MIL MILLONES PEOPLE HAVE NO PROPER SANITATION
THE IMPACT ON WOMEN AND GIRLS
The lack of water and sanitation services is especially difficult for women and girls. They are often responsible for collecting water, which takes them away from work and school. However, when they have water, all that changes. They have time to work, study and spend time with their families.

billion in estimated economic losses due to lack of water⁸IMPACT ON ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
Spending hours each day fetching water or fighting waterborne diseases costs people money in medical expenses and wastes time that could be spent on income-generating activities. When families reclaim their time and health, they can turn it into education and work opportunities that lead to a better future.
THE IMPACT ON HEALTH
Without access to clean water, people resort to using and drinking water from contaminated sources, leading to preventable diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera. These diseases waste families' time and money, and can even cause death. When communities have a safe water source, they can thrive.
BUILDING CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION SOLUTIONS
Water For People is an international non-profit organization based in Denver, Colorado. Our mission is to provide water, sanitation, and hygiene services to everyone and ensure that these solutions last forever.
We are working to achieve this ambitious goal by partnering with local community members, businesses, and governments, assisting them in bringing sustainable water and sanitation systems to their communities. We then ensure they have the training and tools they need to maintain these systems for generations.
We spend years, not days, in districts working until every family, clinic, and school has safe and reliable water and sanitation services.
WHERE DOES WATER FOR PEOPLE WORK?
Water For People currently operates in nine countries around the world: Guatemala, Honduras, Bolivia, Perú, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, e India. Our staff in each country are familiar with the culture and language of the communities we serve. Based on grants and special funds, we have worked in over 40 countries since our inception, but we have found that a specific focus is more effective and efficient. We have been using this focused approach since 2011.
OUR GLOBAL TEAM
As our name suggests, it all comes down to people. Our mission is about people, and our work is for people. And the most valuable resource we have to succeed in our mission is the incredible people who work for us and with us.
We want to thank all the volunteers, staff, board members, field partners, funding partners, donors, and strategic partners for their dedication, tenacity, and selflessness in helping us work to solve the global water crisis, for Everyone Forever.
