World Vision believes every child deserves clean water, which is why they are committed to doing everything possible to help solve the global water crisis within our lifetimes.
World Vision is reaching one new person with clean water every 30 seconds, and provides more people with clean water than any other nongovernmental organization. Their model, much like Free the Children’s, gives communities ownership and training in maintenance of water points so that water continues to flow after their work is completed.
