#TeamWaters goes live Friday, August 1 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm GMT. We've got one month to raise $40 million. It's a full-speed sprint to the finish. The campaign wraps at midnight PST on August 31 so every day counts. Mark your calendar, get your content ready, and let's make this the biggest creator impact campaign of all time!

Because water changes everything. Without it, women and children must walk for hours each day to gather water for their families, leaving them no time for school or work. Hospitals can't provide essential care. Communities can't grow.
And yet, 1 in 10 people on Earth don't have clean water to drink. This is a fixable problem and creators like you can lead the way in helping to solve it.
You're not just supporting a cause. You're helping change the trajectory of real people's lives, and showing what's possible when creators unite and use their platforms to turbocharge meaningful change.

Because the situation is urgent but solvable. Climate change is making clean water harder to access. Droughts are drying up water sources. Floods are contaminating pipes and wells.
But here's the good news: with smart systems and real support, we can get ahead of this. You can help lead that charge.

WaterAid is one of the most trusted water organizations in the world. Founded by engineers, they have a 4-star Charity Navigator rating and the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid.
They've been working at this for 40+ years, with operations in 22 countries. They don't do quick fixes, they work alongside communities to build long-term sustainable systems with local partners that actually deliver.

Straight to the work. All #TeamWaters donations go directly to WaterAid and our charitable partners.

Not just wells. Not just bottles. We're funding real, sustainable clean water access - building long-lasting infrastructure in partnership with communities.
#TeamWaters and WaterAid will use different technologies depending on what is most appropriate for each community's context, climate, and needs. In different places this might mean systems to draw, collect and clean water; to distribute water; or to maintain and monitor water supply services. For example:
Piped water systems for homes, schools and health centers
Solar-powered pumps so communities can access groundwater without relying on electricity
Rainwater harvesting which collects and stores rainwater in tanks or reservoirs and provides a reliable water source, especially in areas with seasonal rainfall
Water filters and filtration systems ensuring safe drinking water
Mobile water-quality labs and remote sensors
Community training so locals can maintain the systems
Regardless of the technology chosen, #TeamWaters and WaterAid will ensure longevity and sustainability by training people to maintain systems and ensuring that repairs and replacement parts can be sourced locally and affordably.

#TeamWaters will work across 4 continents to deliver clean water to communities.
From the deserts of Colombia to the mangrove forests of Bangladesh, projects will range from piped connections to homes, gravity-fed water systems on mountainsides, solar-powered wells, desalination systems, rainwater harvesting and more.
The work will be carried out in partnership with local communities, governments, partners and a whole host of people critical to delivering a sustainable supply of clean water, with specific projects in Rwanda, Mozambique, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Colombia, Kenya, Brazil and the USA.
While it won't be the only approach, a particular focus of #TeamWaters's portfolio will be fast-growing megacities in Like Lagos, Nigeria that allow us to reach a lot of people at once.
We will also work in some of the world's hardest to reach rural places. WaterAid will identify the right solutions for each community's needs.
Where you live should not determine whether you get clean, life-saving water or not. This crisis is solvable. We have the knowledge, the ability and the determination. Now we need you.

The usual cost to bring clean water to one person varies widely around the world, from $10 to $150 per person.
For #TeamWaters, we worked with the experts at WaterAid to design a cost-effective and multi-faceted program that can reach two million people at an average of $20 per person for at least two decades (20+ years).
With our model, that's roughly $1 per year per person reached. This is because we are mainly (but not exclusively) working in large urban areas where the cost to reach each person is much lower.

Wells aren't always the right answer. Household wells don't reach people at scale, and well water can be contaminated by waste.
In cities, we're working on large-scale piped systems that will meet the demand of growing populations.
Wells can work in rural areas, but they often fail when they aren't maintained. Around 30-40% of rural water systems break down and stay broken.

Not really. Boiling helps kill bacteria but:
It doesn't remove heavy metals or chemicals
It's time-consuming and burns fuel most families can't spare
And boiled water can still get re-contaminated during storage
Boiling water costs time, wood or charcoal, and releases more than a ton of CO₂ per household per year.
It also contributes to deforestation, air pollution, and household costs. Because of this, many people don't boil water, putting their health at risk.

Dirty water = big problems fast.
We're talking cholera, typhoid, dysentery — diseases that spread like wildfire when people don't have access to clean water. Clean water means fewer sick children, fewer missed school days, and stronger, healthier communities
Bottom line: clean water saves lives. For many this is life-or-death, and you can help fix it.

Yes! #TeamWaters is working with the communities and supporting them to manage and sustain projects independently.
WaterAid partners with local governments, trains people on maintenance, and builds systems that locals own and operate.
This is about collaboration. The people we're supporting are the heroes of their own stories and we're here to help amplify them. We'll be on one #team, together.

To help 2 million people get clean water that lasts for decades, #TeamWaters’s global partner is WaterAid, how we will also work with:
GivePower
GivePower operates innovative Solar Water Farms that will help to extract salt, microbes, fluoride and other contaminants from water or water sources. With features like SmartTap dispensers, GivePower can deliver water directly to communities or local distributors and they are all locally managed, creating more jobs, ensuring affordability and enabling reliable community-owned operations for decades.
DigDeep
DigDeep is a human rights nonprofit working to ensure every person in the United States has access to clean, running water and sanitation at home. DigDeep has served thousands of families across the United States through award-winning and community-led field projects: the Navajo Water Project (Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah), the Appalachia Water Project (West Virginia and Kentucky), and the Colonias Water Project (Texas). DigDeep is also a leading force in U.S. water access research, workforce development, and policy advocacy, underscoring their commitment to addressing the sector’s lack of comprehensive data. Notable national reports, including “Closing the Water Access Gap in the United States: A National Action Plan” and “Draining: The Economic Impact of America’s Hidden Water Crisis,” unveiled the harsh reality that over 2 million people in the US live without a toilet or tap at home, which costs the American economy a staggering $8.6 billion annually.
Alok Institute
The Alok Institute supports social transformation projects, cultural promotion, rights assurance, access to water, and nature protection. Its mission is to contribute to social development by supporting positive impact actions in the lives of the most vulnerable populations and the environment. We work to inspire positive attitudes of social participation and solidarity.
