When women and girls have access to clean water, their lives change for the better. They no longer have to spend hours each day collecting water or risk their safety on long walks, giving them more time to go to school, earn a living, and care for their families. With access to clean water, they can live with greater health, dignity, and opportunity.

Clean water is essential for health—without it, people often have to use dirty water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, which can spread deadly diseases like cholera and typhoid. When clean water is readily available, children get sick less often, miss fewer school days, and parents stay healthier and more productive. By breaking the cycle of waterborne illness, reliable clean water can transform lives in communities around the world, one tap at a time.

Climate change is making it harder for people to access clean water. Floods can pollute safe sources and droughts are drying up our natural resources. This puts already fragile water supplies at risk of disappearing completely. Providing access to clean, reliable water helps communities stay healthy, grow food, and recover more quickly from climate shocks. It gives families—especially women and girls—the stability they need to thrive in a changing world.

We'll find the right solution for each community, every time. This could mean creating more clean water or drilling a deep well, or using the power of gravity to transport water downhill. It could be as simple as capturing and treating rainwater for families to use during the dry season. We’ll work with communities to ensure their needs are met and the systems are appropriate for their culture, climate and location.

Delivering clean water takes a lot of engineering know-how. We're working with WaterAid to lay miles and miles of pipes and conducting water quality testing using mobile labs. Remote sensors will keep track of water supplies. GivePower will build and operate Solar Water Farms that purify salty water sources using solar energy to create clean, reliable drinking water. Solar Water Farms are designed to remain productive for over 20 years providing long-term relief in water-scarce regions.

The biggest reason water systems fail is lack of maintenance. Hardware breaks. Disasters strike. That's why WaterAid's model of community engagement, advocacy and education is so important. They understand the challenges in building systems that last, particularly in rural areas. A lot of time and effort goes into preparing communities and local government to solve these problems. That's the only way to keep clean water flowing through floods, droughts and across decades.

#TeamWater will reach large numbers of people in urban centers in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda and Tanzania where economic and climate migration is putting pressure on water supplies. Lack of access to water increases the risk of disease. WaterAid will improve and extend piped networks, bringing homes, communities, schools and health centers onto the water grid. GivePower will build water desalination systems to increase the supply of clean drinking water. This will ensure reliable access to water when and where people need it.

We will also work in rural areas, bringing running water to homes in Appalachia in the U.S. through our partner DigDeep, to indigenous communities in northern Brazil with our partner the Alok Institute, and in northern Colombia with WaterAid. We'll identify the right solutions for each community's needs to ensure lasting change.
