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.

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.
