CLEAN WATER
When underprivileged areas gain access to clean water, it starts a ripple effect that helps prevent the spread of disease, improves nutrition and strengthens local economies.
We believe in empowering those in need with the tools and training necessary to build sustainable water systems and transform their communities.
Join The Ripple.

The Reality
300,000 children under the age of 5 die from diseases spread due to lack of clean water and proper sanitation. Climate change is severely impacting the natural supply of usable freshwater, as terrestrial water storage has dropped rapidly at 1 cm per year for the past twenty. Additionally, water pollution from floods caused by extreme weather events further complicate the issue. With your help, we can bring sustainable clean water solutions to underprivileged communities and begin to reverse those statistics.
Global Impact
Donors to this area of giving at The White Feather Foundation have helped build clean water wells in Rwanda and Ethiopia; implemented a aqueduct system for an indigenous school in Colombia; provided water catchments in Cameroon; and constructed a sand-filtered water pump in Malawi.
