GENEROSITY.ORG

When Generosity.org first started, over 1 billion people did not have access to clean water. Because of the global commitment to ending the water crisis that number has decreased to 884 million. Progress is possible. Generosity.org wants to see a world where everyone has access to clean water. We focus our efforts and attention on our sustainable projects in the poorest, most impacted countries around the globe.

1. Funding: The final cost of a water project is always different in each community - but the first step is always the same - raising the money to make it happen. Once the project is fully funded, we send the money to our implementing partners who have committed to using 100% of it to directly fund project costs.
2. Target by Region: By targeting specific regions in each country, our local partners are empowered to build trusting relationships with every community. They have the local knowledge and professional expertise to select the best locations for each water project.
3. Collaborate with Local Government: When possible, we collaborate with local governments to identify locations, collect community data and connect local leaders with the government entity that oversees national water supply.
4. Form a Water Committee: A water committee is a group of men and women who oversee the water project during and after construction. Each member is trained in maintenance and basic hygiene, and together the committee is responsible for keeping the water project up and running.
5. Build the Well: Our implementing partners are experts in choosing the best water solutions for each community.
6. Hygiene and Sanitation Training: Clean water solutions have a greater impact when they include comprehensive sanitation and hygiene training. Our implementing partners are responsible for educating community members and appointing local health leaders.
7. Report Back: In 12 months, once a project is complete, we provide photos and a full report of the project's GPS coordinates, population, and previous water source - all connecting donors directly with the community helped.

Generosity.org has a strong team of dedicated professionals with a strong strategy and vision to meet these steep goals. Generosity.org is passionate about ending the clean water crisis and inspiring people to think globally and live generously. However, we don't stop there. We maintain relationships with local communities through our local partners and work to provide additional services to empower communities to become self sustaining.

Since 2008, Generosity.org has funded over 830 clean water projects in 20 developing countries, bringing clean and safe drinking water to over 500,000 people.

There are still 884 million people without access to clean water and Generosity.org's vision is to see a world where the clean water crisis is eradicated and no one lives without access to clean water.
