Water for the Americas
How You Can Help
Donations are needed to help make safe, reliable water supplies a reality for our neighbors throughout the Americas. Your contribution will be used to better the lives of and give hope to those most in need.
For a typical rural water system project, we purchase materials such as pipe, valves, bricks and mortar to build water system pipelines and tanks, and we hire skilled workmen to drill or dig water wells and build masonry spring boxes and water tanks. Your generous contributions provide the funds for these purposes.
You can donate on-line or by check. The Donate Now link will take you to our page on the JustGive.org web site, where you can make a one-time donation or set up periodic (monthly, quarterly, annual) donations charged to a credit card. Checks or money orders can be mailed to our address at the left. We gladly accept donations of materials, but the materials must be delivered within the project country. We do not share personal information provided by any of our donors. See our Privacy Policy.

| $25,000 | A spring-fed, gravity-driven water system serving an entire village |
