Water to Thrive

Millions of women and children are forced each day to spend hours collecting and carrying water.

About W2T

Water to Thrive is a faith-based organization seeking to improve the lives of those less fortunate, and those living without their simplest, most basic human need – the need for clean water.

We believe in change. We believe that one person does make a difference. We believe that together we can heal some of the world’s pain and suffering. We believe that one person’s abundance can be translated into a gift that fulfills another person’s need. We believe that if we unite to make a change, the possibilities are profound.

Women deserve to trust that the water they are providing for their families is not the same source that will lead to their illness or death. Children deserve the right to an education and to attend school instead of collecting and carrying water each day. Families deserve a source of economic development and income.

W2T is assisting a country to lift itself out of poverty. By providing clean and safe water to those in need, lives are being transformed. Lifestyles are being transformed.

100% of donation dollars go directly to our water well projects in Ethiopia.
