The Hope and Human Rights
Speaker Series
Water.org is a non-profit organization, co-founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, that is challenging the traditional approach to assisting people in developing countries. Their goals are to draw attention to the world’s number one health problem, unsafe and inadequate water supplies, and to raise funds to help fight this immense problem. Their microfinance-based WaterCredit Initiative is pioneering sustainable giving in the sector. They use their expertise to foster high-quality, sustainable, community-level water supply projects and promote innovative solutions that empower communities to take a leading role in solving their own water supply problems.
Water.org is a global nonprofit organization working to bring water and sanitation to the world. We want to make it safe, accessible, and cost-effective.
They help people get access to safe water and sanitation through affordable financing, such as small loans. They give our everything every day to empower people in need with these life-changing resources – giving women hope, children health and families a bright future.
