Whether you fundraise, volunteer, or spread the word, every action helps bring safe and accessible water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) to communities in need in Africa and Haiti.
Join us in this mission—because safe water is a basic human right!
Are you passionate about making a difference in your community—and around the world?
Lifewater Canada is looking for committed volunteers to join us and bring safe water to communities in need. Whether you want to lead local initiatives or share your skills overseas, there’s a place for you to make an impact.
1. Local Outreach
Help raise awareness and resources by organizing local events in your community. From hosting fundraisers to mobilizing others, you’ll play a vital role in spreading the word about Lifewater’s mission.
2. Builder Program
As a Builder, you’ll take on a leadership role within our organization by dedicating 4–6 hours each month to champion our cause. You’ll lead community awareness campaigns, engage new supporters, and share Lifewater’s vision for safe water.
3. Overseas Team
Lifewater Canada occasionally needs skilled professionals, such as drilling or construction experts, to travel with us to Africa or Haiti. Volunteers must be able to cover their own expenses, but the impact is life-changing: you’ll work alongside our team on the ground to bring safe water directly to communities in need.

In 2011 I started Charity Auto Sales in Penticton BC, so far donating 100% after expenses, less 25% held as reserve. When in search of the right charity to support I came across Lifewater Canada and it was clear to me that this team (at the time all volunteers like myself) and the impact they were having supplying water to those in desperate need, was an organization I was searching for. Watch this video to learn more about why I chose to sponsor them.
