Sponsor a safe water station in India or Ghana

Wish you could do something about the world water crisis, where you could clearly SEE your impact? You can.

Safe Water Network's Champion Clean Water Campaign is a practical way for a company's employees to help the billion people around the world without access to safe, affordable water. It is a customized corporate social responsibility or employee engagement program that is making real impact in communities in need.

Your Support Counts: Whether you have an existing social responsibility program or are launching a new philanthropic initiative, the Champion Clean Water Campaign complements traditional employee giving and corporate matching gift campaigns. We will customize the Campaign to meet your requirements including:

  • Creation of educational materials about water, sanitation and health for employee awareness and sign‐up.
  • Opportunities to build awareness, visibility and recognition for your customers and other stakeholders.
  • Customized workplace giving events to mark key milestones of the water station development and impact on the community.
  • Alignment with Safe Water Network's collaborative network of partners, water sector leaders and technical experts.

Champion Clean Water, One Village at a Time

We've provided almost a quarter of a million people safe, affordable water, and with your support, we will reach many more. We offer several options ranging from a single village for $25,000, up to $250,000 for a cluster of villages that would include a "service depot" of supplies and ongoing support. Pledges above $50,000 receive a customized employee engagement package.

How the Champion Clean Water Campaign Works

Pledge* Your organization can help Safe Water Network to assess, engage, build, launch, manage and ultimately transfer ownership and operation of a water station to a village of roughly 5,000 people.
Monitor Every step of the way, your employees will see their impact on the community. Regular field updates (twitter feeds, dedicated web pages, blogs) will report on progress and how clean water is making a difference: improving livelihoods, easing the burden on women, improving children's health…
Results We work with the village as a genuine partner to ensure long‐term success: on‐the‐job training and support, standardization of operating procedures, manuals and tool kits…Demand generation activities help improve efficiencies and educational programming improves health and hygiene practices.
Impact As an advocate, your participation adds to the collective knowledge of Safe Water Network because every step at every site is monitored, evaluated and documented to refine our approach and quantify results to make the human right of safe water available to all.
