Water is something we all need, and it’s essential for people to survive. But about 770 million people around the globe don’t have access to safe, clean water. That’s 1 person in every 10. Today, on World Water Day, we want to raise awareness about that and raise funds for projects to change it.

You can help The Rotary Foundation support member-led projects and activities that give people access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education and promote healthy societies.


What impact can your gift have? Donors like you have supported these sustainable, life-changing projects around the world:
  • Improving access to safely managed water in the Navajo Nation
  • Installing and expanding access to water and sanitation in Tanzania
  • Distributing clay water filters to communities in Brazil
  • Supplying clean water to 3,000 people in Papua New Guine
  • Installing water filtration systems for schools in Lebanon
Your gift will help people gain access to clean water and better sanitation facilities in communities that need them. You can also enroll in Rotary Direct to support our Foundation’s work throughout the year. You can choose how much and how often you want to give, and you can manage your gifts online through Donor Self-Service on My Rotary. It’s a simple and secure way to make a big impact.

Together, we can make sure communities around the world have the clean water they need.
