Water Shouldn't Cost a Childhood

Everyday millions of children walk for hours to get unsafe water. Families get sick, children miss school and put their lives at risk. No child should have to choose between school and survival.

Safe Water Changes Everything

Today, 1 in 3 children live in areas of severe water scarcity, and 293 million children attend schools without safe water.

Millions walk for hours each day just to collect unsafe water—missing school and risking their health.
And every day, over 1,300 young children die from preventable water-related diseases.

This is a crisis—but it’s also solvable.

How we make a difference

This is What Change Looks Like

Our goal - 100 new wells

Schools in Haiti and Sub-Saharan Africa urgently need safe, reliable water, where no infrastructure currently exists.

Projects will begin rolling out in late 2026, ensuring your gift creates real, scheduled impact. We want to see 3 schools each day receive the life-changing difference that clean water makes.

Every Dollar Counts.

What people are saying

Water is such a basic human right. It is beyond comprehension that rich societies like ours don't focus on everyone having clean, drinking water. Imagine what the world's wealthiest people could do to change the world if he believed in this.

Wow! Five years (of monthly giving) already. I'm grateful to be able to support the excellent work that you have been doing.

We are delighted to continue with our monthly donations to this very worthy cause. Having fresh water is a basic necessity and the value it brings to communities – especially in allowing young children to attend school and not remain at home gathering water -- is a blessing.

Barry & Janice

Chilliwack, BC

I was looking to help communities with water first. My other criteria was to ensure that the administrative fees were low so that the money mainly goes to help. You were well rated. Thank you for helping.

Wow. In the top ten 10 (charities in Canada for the seventh consecutive year, as determined by Charity Intelligence) again! We love Lifewater Canada. Great work!

Matt & Danelli

Calgary, AB

Access to clean water is something we often take for granted that has a huge impact on people's daily lives, so the cause is close to my heart. Lifewater's operational efficiency helps make the impact even greater, so I'm happy to give generously.

I cannot imagine living without water. We are so blessed in our country, that we turn on the tap and many of us do not think that water is second to oxygen in our need to live. Having been a registered nurse in my career, I saw firsthand how water provides the basic sanitary needs of life to prevent the spread of germs and disease, as well as its importance in hydration. Clean water should be a right of all.
