Co-founded by Matt Damon and Gary White, Water.org is a nonprofit organization that has transformed hundreds of communities in Africa, South Asia, and Central America by providing access to safe water and sanitation.

World Water Day was founded in 1993 by the United Nations. While different organizations use it to highlight the impact of water on one day, we use the entire week to lift up our mission: sustainable safe water access for the 780 million people currently without it. Our goal is to make this a reality in our lifetime. So let’s celebrate water, the progress that’s been made, and that progress we are continuing to make.
