Water.org

Water.org was founded in 2009 by Gary White and Matt Damon to bring clean water to the developing world by making it safe, accessible, and cost-effective. Today, the charity helps people get access to safe water and sanitation through affordable financing to empower their communities.

WaterCredit: Small loans, big impact

The WaterCredit Initiative ® is their core solution. They work with in-country financial partners who provide affordable loans to people in need of water. People living in poverty use these loans to put a tap or toilet in their homes. Every repaid loan creates the opportunity for another family to get the safe water and toilets they need, fast and affordably. It is a pay-it-forward system that makes it possible to help more people in ways that will last.
