Water.org is a global nonprofit organization reshaping how the world tackles the water crisis. Co-founded by Gary White and actor Matt Damon, the organization focuses on a simple yet powerful idea: everyone deserves access to safe water and sanitation, and the lack of it should never hold anyone back from living a healthy, dignified life.

Rather than relying solely on traditional aid, Water.org created a pioneering approach known as WaterCredit. This model connects families in need with small, affordable loans to build water taps and toilets in their own homes. The impact is transformational—women reclaim hours lost to water collection, children stay healthier and can attend school more regularly, and families gain the power to change their futures.

Since its founding, Water.org has reached over 76 million people across Africa, Asia, and Latin America by partnering with local financial institutions and community organizations. Its work not only addresses an urgent human need but also promotes sustainable development by empowering people to become part of their own solution.

With a strong record of transparency and innovation, Water.org has earned global recognition and support. Whether through donations, partnerships, or simply raising awareness, anyone can help bring clean water to more communities and unlock a future full of opportunity.
