Water is a Human Right
We believe in a world where everyone has safe drinking water, forever.
Water for People Canada’s mission is to mobilize resources and partnerships that deliver sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions for the most vulnerable communities, both domestically and internationally.
We raise funds, identify high-impact projects and capable delivery partners, and make targeted grants that improve health, protect the environment, and support long-term economic opportunities. Our role is to ensure that the communities we support receive lasting and measurable benefits.
WATER
Delivering reliable drinking water to everyone in the community.
SANITATION
Giving families the resources they need to improve their bathrooms.
HYGIENE
Teaching and supporting good hygiene to improve health.
Where we work
Water For People partners with local organizations, governments, businesses, and citizens to provide the support they need to bring water and sanitation systems to their own towns, cities, and countries.
Water For People Canada directly funds projects in Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru. Moreover, we also support Indigenous-led projects in Canada through Community Circle.
This is what change looks like
We’ve helped millions of people across get access to clean water, sanitation solutions, and hygiene education. We are celebrating multiple districts where sustainable water solutions are in place for everyone—solutions we know will last for generations.
We have seen how this changes everything. Children stay in school. People live longer, healthier, more productive lives, with more time to work, play, and simply spend together.
You can help turn the tide of the world’s water crisis. You can change lives, communities, and countries—making clean water available to Everyone Forever.
