Thank you for helping Water 1st reach more people in need of safe water and toilets.
If every American gave $5/month, we’d raise enough money to provide for water and sanitation for all people in just 5 years. It takes so little to make a difference when we all work together.
You, your family, your office, or a group of friends can set a fundraising goal, helping one person, a family, or an entire village in need of safe water. And we make the fundraising part easy by helping you create your own online fundraising page. Below are some fundraising goals for you to think about, but remember that any amount helps us reach our goal of safe water and toilets for all.
$70 provides safe water and a toilet for one child for life
$400 provides safe water and a toilet for an entire family for life
$5,000 provides safe water and toilets for an entire community for life
